Anyone having surgery in Oct ?

I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

I had surgery Thursday and am still in the hospital. Was feeling pretty good but than all of sudden i was lite headed and weak. Hopefully tomorrow I can go home. Finally passing gas but no BM yet. Been taking miralax each night so keep your fingers crossed.

So glad to hear that!!! It is interesting I am suppose to start Vitamins when I get home. Every program is so different.

So I got a summons to appear in court on the 26th and my surgery is the 21st. I am wondering if I am gonna feel up to it. We got called to testify against this guy that broke in the house next to ours.... I am like what! I did not think the bank would file charges but obviously they did. I will ask my surgeon on my surgery date what he thinks, but I am a bit concerned.

How did you all feel 5 days post op? I am also having a hernia repair.

I really hope Ron is okay! Did anyone reach out to his wife since her last post?

I am Facebook friends with him. Myself and another BP'er commented on his wall, hoping a family member would see it. No comments yet. His brother-in-law posted about praying for him when it first happened but nothing since.

I sent an email to Ron's wife a few days after she posted here. Just sent well wishes, thoughts, prayers. I have not received an email back from her. I sure hope everything is ok.

I've been hanging out in here with you guys even though I didn't have a surgery date. Got it yesterday and now I am officially an October surgery. I'm scheduled Monday, October 26th! I'm excited and overwhelmed at the same time.
