What was your surgery time?



Recommended Posts

Ugh, missed a call from my surgeons office. My check in time was supposed to be 9:30 tomorrow morning with surgery at 11:30. My new check in time is 1:00 so I assume my surgery wont be until 3:00. Has anyone else had that late of a surgery time? I sure hope they do not postpone it.

Well, my check in time was scheduled for 3:00 PM, and when I got there I learned that we had been bumped for an emergency. I didn't have my surgery until 9:00 PM. However, since then everything has gone according to plan.

I had to be there at 8 am and I was bumped because the person ahead of me had an emergency, I told them to please take their time, I told them I wasn't leaving with my entire stomach still attached so I had all the time in the world for that patient to get the care he needed! I don't even remember the rest of the day. I was up every hour walking with the nurses and weaned off the pain killers through the night. I was ready!!!!

Check in was 8:25 and surgery was to be 10:25 but prior ran long and was 11:00. Things happen. I don't think you'll be rescheduled

I just got a call from the surgeons assistant. She is super nice. I actually go in later. 2:00pm LOL. She said don't worry all is well and this is typical of surgery times. So I am going to make the best of it and go to the movies to see Tammy tomorrow since I have time. Thanks all!

I had a 1:30 check in, and I think didn't go back until close to 3:30. It was fine and I was still released at 8am the next morning.

      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! 😞
