Well it's 5.30am..Ive been up most night. At 6am I have to take remaining tablets that I also took the night before at 6pm. Then I leave for the hospital. At 7am I will book in and fuss will be made to prep me for my Bypass Surgery. Im first on the list...Im as calm as I can be..not wirth getting stressed..Ive waited so ling for this like we all have. Now it will be my turn to give advice if asked...this site has learnt me so much...hints and preps that I couldnt get off friends thats never been in my shoes. I cant wait in weeks to come to show you all my "after pics' . All I ask is for thoughts of healing...prayers to the surgeon to guide his wonderful hands.......bye for now. Oh im so excited. X

@@GingerDiane, I will say a prayer for your speedy recovery.

I remember how excited I was on the day of my surgery. I have had many surgeries and this was the first time I was not even a tiny bit nervous. In fact it felt like Christmas morning when I was a kid and I was going to get a fabulous present.

I hope you are recovering well so you can begin your new life.

Congratulations!

Hi everyone...its gone 10.45pm...I feel great execpt for some "Gas"...One good tip and I think it helped...minutes before going "under" I asked the surgeon..before he wakes me up can he expel most of the gas while im being glued up. DONT BE SCARED TO ASK. I didnt have a bloated belly..it was slight. It helped alot just asking a simple task...but i do have some pain where the diaphram is..but ive also had a repair done at the same time so it may be that. I will see the surgeon in morning.

Hi....im back home....and before they put me under i made sure i said it...I said I hear you can take most of the gas back out....they said ok..we will take out as much as they can. I was warnex with excessive gas youll get pains on the top right front shoulder which is hard to get rid of. But due to me asking I had a mere 10% pain there. Dont get me wrong..I still had trapped wind but not as much..phew! Just keep burping..it helps so much! Also PLEASE make sure if you are on any meds BEFORE the surgery..make sure recovery and the unit you go on know you must continue to take them (if still advised by surgeon)....as they forgot to give my MST (Morphine) and got withdrawal symptoms..but was immediately corrected by the pain clinic nurse. Its important to keep sipping Water at intervals..as the more liquid you keep in the better you feel. Im home....still tender but so comfortable. X

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
