Today I have surgery



Recommended Posts

Well, it is finally here. Today I am having my surgery. I have to be at the hospital at 1:53 and surgery is at 3:53. I have already had a meltdown this morning. I am so nervous. Not about the surgery or that anything will go wrong because I have the good Lord on my side. I don't know why I am so nervous. Breathe! Prayers are welcome. :)

Prayer already said! About an hour before your surgery, I have my last Aetna weigh-in. I hope that I'll be following in your footsteps soon! The Lord's got this! Just breathe!

Hello everyone. I apologize for not posting sooner but my password wouldn't work. It was driving me crazy that I couldn't update everyone about my surgery.

I wanted to let everyone know that surgery went very well. No complications at all. I had a wonderful night nurse. I couldn't ask for a better nurse. My daytime nurse was awful. I only saw her about 2 times the whole day. I was beginning to think they had forgotten about me. I went into surgery a little earlier. It was suppose to be at 3:53 but they got me in there at 2:30. it took an hour and a half. I was walking around 10:00 that night. The daytime nurse wouldn't let me walk but the nighttime nurse got me walking. I was ready to go by that morning. But I got released at 7:00 that evening. While I was in the hospital, my blood pressure was amazing. I have never seen it that great before, even with 3 different BP medicines. They took me off all of them before I left. I have checked it since being home and it is still amazing. And my Blood sugar has never been so low. It runs in the 200-300 even with an insulin pump. While I was in the hospital, it ran around 120-130. I woke up this morning with a reading of 98. I am so excited.

Thanks for all the prayers and love.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
