October Surgery Date

  • Popular Post

Hi everyone!

Just came back from doctor's office and have a October 28th surgery date for Gastric Bypass. This is it, the high diving platform. Knees are trembling.

Anyone else in October? Let's keep in touch as we support each other. We have the pre-op diet and getting mentally ready for this.

LET'S DO IT!

ok great thanks for your help can I mix it with a lil broth to sip it down

They didn't tell me to crush em but you can @@Beni my poor tummy got full off those 2 pills and ounce of water to get them down and they also get stuck in your throat, but I think they taste horrible while not crushed, if crushed I don't think they would be bearable.

I know my NUt says I am supposed to be able to take this giant pills including my regular multivitamin but I can't help but wonder how can I? My Centrum Vitamins are enormous.

At the hospital I took them with broth, and I am mad because they didn't give them to me prior like you guys, I had to walk to the pharmacy after discharge to get them because they gave them to me at discharge. I am going to ask for more on tuesday, 26 pills and its 2 every four hours, those babies are almost gone. I'm not in pain, but idk if I'd feel like that if I ran out because in the morning it feels like someone beat me up and put me through a wall lol but its soreness not pain. Btw how does your incision look for those of you who had it already, because I feel like my doctor respected my body and treated me with a lot of love, you can't see 3 of the 5, they look like pleasant box cutter stabs lol. 2 of them are on the sides of my belly button and I had to look for them to see them.
