December 17th surgery. Anyone else?



Recommended Posts

I just started the pre-op diet this morning! I feel like this is going to be a long week ahead. For those of you who already started, how is it coming along?

Day 8?! How long is your pre-op diet for? Mine is only a week long and I don't know how I'm going to do it. I'm afraid that if I'm having a hard time making it through day one, how will I do it post op? I work overnights and so I feel cheated of meals since I was up all day and having to stay up until 8 am. ????

Tomorrow is the day yeay

Me too! I'm a ball of nerves. Had a rough day with pre-op diet yesterday. Was feeling very weak and emotionally a mess. How is everyone that's getting sleeved tomorrow holding up? Am I the only one feeling this way ?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
