Recommended Posts

Sitting here in TJ trying to fall asleep.

Tomorrow the driver picks me up at 645 to take me to the hospital. 8am is my surgery time.

Nerves have been flushing through me all day from the moment that I was given my concent forms to sign.

Then the hospital gave me he option to have my surgery from Friday moved to tomorrow .... I jumped at the chance.

My head is pounding, my tummy is growling and I am so nervous.

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life.....

Good Night !!!!!

You're going to be fine. Try to get some sleep. If you can't, drink a shot of tequila before your midnight deadline! I can't wait to hear you talk about how everything went smoothly. Goodnight.

I can't even count the amount of bottles of Water I drank the past 5 hours and I stopped counting how many times I peed after the 8th time.

chicken broth was exceptional and the ice cubes are soft enough to chew graciously. Spent 2 hrs in the bar listening to the live band, watching my mum have her gin while knawed on glass after glass of ice.

Great night together.

Good luck to those having surgery today! You're probably already in recovery. On to the next step of the journey!

Excellent post. My thoughts are with everyone getting surgery today. Just remember while the pain does suck, getting healthy and looking great are worth it. The pain is temporary but it will add decades to your life.

I had my surgery yesterday at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, with Dr. Kevin Krause. So far it has gone very well. Minimal pain. Still just on ice chips but start clear liquids later this morning. I'm very excited!

Glad to hear you're doing well so far!

Gas pains are dreadful. The vomiting is so painful and the pain medication causes the nausea.

It has been awful so far.

I don't see walking make any difference with the gas.

I want to go home.

        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!!
