My surgery is 25 Aug. I feel nervous and exciting.

I do not know what to expect at hospital I am looking forward to surgery but not all the BS that goes with it.

I guess i do not like hospitals or surgery just want it over.

My surgery is the 25 of august also, this is my second date as the first one July 14 someone between the Drs and health ins dropped the ball.

I just finished up day 2 of my liquid diet, I must say this time ( did 12 days of it before) is the hardest. I am so afraid that something will come up and I will have yet another set back.

Non blonde moment - hit send too soon. I am very sore and very bruised. Going to hit Walmart today to get some walking in - too hot to walk outside. I know this surgery will help me reach my goals but I am the key to making it work. I am sure each day will get better. You are in my thoughts and prayers for those getting ready for surgery and continued healing and success for those who are post op.

It is the beginning of 2nd full day at home. I am napping often - trying to catch up on lost sleep but it sure feels great to be home. My mom came over yesterday and fixed my some puréed food

Glad all is good!

Take a step back, is it gas pain or real pain from the surgery?

Is it better today? Try heating pad on your back and shoulder if it's pain from the gas. Keep walking. Follow your docs instructions and if it's bad call the ofc!

My surgery is August 25. I started my two week shakes this past Monday and threw it up violently. I was on it 3 days before my nut took me off. I am having to to south beach now.

What is everyone's opinion on 2-3 days before surgery if I try the shakes again throwing up or not?

I just don't want them to not do the surgery because my liver is too big.

Should I try again even if I continue to throw it up? That way I can shrink it?

I am one week post op. I am feeling pretty good but still have pain. I have a bruise the size a pancake on my left side. Not sure what it is from but it is there. I start meds for my gallbladder to prevent gallstones. Please do not think you will get any rest in the hospital - I got zero sleep. I begged to go home so I could at least get sleep. Just keep focused on why you are going through the procedure. Aren't moms the greatest - my mom came and purée food for me too. I know this sounds funny but I feel like I don't have a stomach. It does not feel empty nor does it feel full. I am trying to follow the guideline I was given on when I should do what. It is just weird.

Good luck to all those soon having surgery - you will do great.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
