March 2014 Surgery!



Recommended Posts

I am tenatively scheduled for Mach 25th, but still waiting on final approval from insurance. I am excited and nervous. To the Army wives, thanks for supporting our men in uniform. My husband ex-Navy and my oldest son is in Navy Class C school currently. We also have our youngest son in ROTC, Army sponsored, so it seems I may have one sailor and one soldier!!! Good luck to all!! Can't wait for our different journies to begin!

March 4th! I'm starting my preop diet this weekend. I've never been in the hospital before so I'm pretty nervous. Good luck everybody.

You'll be great! I've had multiple surgeries ranging from knee, shoulder, a couple c-sections, etc... I do have to say that my appendectomy hurt worse than my c-sections. It was all the air/gas that they pump in you. Just walk walk walk.... good luck and hope you keep us updated!

Hoping for March 25th surgery date here, but could be delayed as we are still pending approval. This waiting is getting the best of me, I can't focus on anything else!! This site is helping calm down a little, but it continues to consume my thoughts!!

I travel alot with my job and am anxious to get back on the road to get my mind off of the waiting!

Good luck to all and look forward to the journey!

Hi everyone, my surgery is scheduled for March 12th. Starting my pre op diet tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well and I can loose some weight before surgery. I haven't lost any weight as of yet. I would be devastated if they postponed my surgery for not losing enough weight.

Good Luck everyone!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
