33 days and counting!!!! Excited beyond words, dreading starting the liquid diet in 2 weeks. Who else is looking to change their lives in February?????

So it looks like I'll be leaving this Fabulous February thread.

My Surgery has been pushed out to the 12th or 19th of March. dde2d

I am really bleak. Just cannot believe it.

Stay positive... It's going to be fine. Breathe..... :-)

I learned today that put in a deep stitch in the abdominal muscle and my excruciating pain sitting' date=' walking and standing is from that!

So in effort to make it more bearable I received three injections into the nerve bundle in my abdomen muscle OUCH OUCH OUCH but worth it as it made a little more tolerable. Pain didn't disappear but much more manageable. Surgeon told me this pain not uncommon with RNY revision.[/quote']

Did they say why the deep stitch?

HW 245; CW pre-op: 229; Surg Date: 2/26/13

Yes' date=' right now my insurance is thru my job. That will end the the end of March.[/quote']

Ok...... Too bad u can't reschedule during time u had off from work already. Clearly communicate w surgeon office the no more rescheduling can be done due to time runnin out..... Also your follow ups can be covered under state insurance if it comes down to that... Good luck!

I'm on the losers bench!!

Yesterday went pretty good. Surgery only took 1 hour and in have 6 little tiny cuts. BUT for the frat 4 hours after surgery they had me in morphine every hour and it did NOTHING! I was in so much pain I was tense and my back was starting to hurt. I begged for something different and finally they have me another med and WOW the change!! I'm going 3-4 hours in between pain meds now! I've been walking the halls, sure with there was wetter scenery down the halls

Today I get to tart the liquid postop diet! I'm kinda scared to swallow anything!! But am excited for some flavors!

Hope all of you out there are plugging along! What a great decision we have made for OURSELVES!!!

This pre op diet is kicking my butt!!! I am so tired. I fell like I am in a desert I see what looks like a cheeseburger from five guys and I get closer and its a optifast shake!!!.. Oh I need to make it 4 more days.

Well hi there everybody! I just realized where everyone was hanging out. I posted a rather long-winded introduction on the "Fabulous February Post-Op" discussion. Did you guys want me to introduce myself here?

Cecilia

p.s. Just ordered some of this: Syntrax nectar Fuzzy Navel Protein shake.

I'm wondering if any of you tried it. I realized I was getting a lot of carbs and fat from the shake my mom recommended, so I thought I'd try something different.

Men I swear. I think he just doesn't understand fully what this means to you and how it will make both of your lives better. Men most always need reassurance, especially when they are used to things being a certain way. Maybe give him a little time and try a different approach. When my hb gets insecure about something Im doing I just list out the pros and cons, am honest about what the challenges might be, and remind him he fell in love with a strong willed, stubborn woman who in turn, fell in love with him back. Oh, and at some point I usually tell him not to be such an ass, lol.

Good luck and congrats!

I'm going back and reading this thread from the first. I'll bet your hubby has heard stories. I've been chatting with this guy whose wife left him after getting surgery.

Well... four hours later (JK) I'm caught up with everyone's stories. Soccer Momma, will you add me to your amazing list? I had my surgery on the 13th...

Did they say why the deep stitch?

HW 245; CW pre-op: 229; Surg Date: 2/26/13

I went to the surgeon for the exact pain you are describing.. It kills me to

Stand or sit. They told me they do a deep stitch in the muscle in a right figure 8 stitch. Also the nerves have been cut and are now rejuvenating and that is causing pain too. I went to see the doctor because of the pain. It hurts SO bad!! I'm glad it's normal and I'm not the only one. Time will be our friend is what he said. The pain meds don't do much for the pain.

My surgery was 2/4/13
