November surgeries?



Recommended Posts

I got the call from the surgical nurse today. I go for my full day appointment on october 24th. If all goes well at that appointment then I could be scheduled for surgery on November 4th. The day before my 40th birthday. I said when I began this journey that I wanted it done before I was 40 and now that just may happen. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I weigh 225 but what I am most excited about the surgery is a cure for my diabetes' date=' high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and reflux. I can't believe how wonderful it would be to wake up and not have to take a container full of medication. In my support group a lady with diabetes, taking 11 diabetes pills a day, left the hospital only taking 1 pill and that was only because of such an extreme family history of diabetes. Also, looking good in pants wont hurt! [/quote']

Wow Judy we are kindred spirits I weigh 228 and suffer from the exact same things and it's the reason I'm having the surgery as well. So not only are we having surgery the same day we have identical stories!!! That's awesome that we are going through identical journeys

I just got a call from my coordinator, he has been busy scheduling me for all my tests, cardiologist, kidney specialist, upper GI, lab work, chest X-ray, and pre-op nurse. I have never seen so many doctors or had so many tests in such a short period of time. At least I will know if I'm healthy or not. Then to top it all off, I have a slight cold I am trying so hard to get rid of. If that stops me, I will be so mad.

Are you having to go through a lot of testing like I am? Will be so glad when that part is done. Then I will know for sure it is real.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
