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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
