Surgery Tomorrow - Have a Question



Recommended Posts

Good morning everyone,

I am super nervous as I anticipated I would be with questions like what am I doing? Why did I decide this? An implant in me forever! Then the other side is calmer with - you got this! This will be the best decision ever! And I'm bringing my sexy back!

So with all these emotions I have had headaches over the weekend. I took some BC powder yesterday and reread my checklist of pre and post op instructions and I messed up by taking the BC. I should not have taken anything like that 5 days prior. I will certainly tell the surgeon tomorrow and just wondering how much that would screw things up. Thanks for any input, I appreciate this forum!

I have my surgery tomorrow too (sleeve) and I am a nervous wreck!! I can't wait to finally be able to lose the weight, but at the same time any surgery can be a scary thing. I think I am more nervous about the after surgery recovery. I have heard it from all spectrum. People who haven't had any problems and others with pretty bad pain. I have been on my pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks, been preparing for this since January. Now that it is here, I am a mess!! :( We got this!! We are finally getting a new healthier self! I am not sure about your med situation. I would just call your doctor and ask them.

Hope everything works out ok, Congrats on your surgery and decision, and Good luck!! Hope you have an amazing, comfortable recovery!!!

Nsaids thin your blood but I doubt one would have any affect.

Personally I would call your doctor just to make sure, but I do not think it will bother anything. Good luck with your new journey!

Best Wishes to you too BrandyV! I wish you the same! I hope the pre-op was the worst because I got so hangry (hunger + anger) :D

I feel your pain or stress as it may be. I am also scheduled for tomorrow and have been questioning everything I have done so far. I cried twice today because I am afraid I forgot something. It doesn't help that my daughter, 10 yeas old, broke her wrist on Sunday and we spent the day trying to get her into an orthopedist because I know I will be out of commission for a little bit. She us such a trooper! I have to try and model myself on her. Together we will get through this. Good luck to everyone! Will keep good thoughts for all of you!

Best wishes all of you -- I was so excited and nervous as all get-out. Honestly, I can't even really recall those early days. I took my sense of humor with me to the hospital. I had never been an overnight patient and I'm 52. It was all so much better than I thought. And I was getting what I wanted -- a choice for myself and my healthy future. To this day, I am thrilled. Life reclaimed. You are all on your way -- good luck! It will be better than fine!

      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! 😞
