Who's having surgery the week of 9/21?



Recommended Posts

I started my 6-month appointments on 4/1 and finished them on 9/8. At that appointment, the surgical coordinator at my doc's office scheduled surgery for 9/24. He then submitted the paperwork for approval from the insurance company. Got a call today that the insurance company approved the surgery - so I'm all set for next Thursday. I've been on a liquid diet since 9/10 and so far, so good - though I know I'm not getting close to my 1,000 calories in. Honestly, it's all happening so quickly that I'm waiting for a monkey wrench to play into the mix.

I'm excited/nervous/etc. Who's having surgery with me next week and where are you located? I'm having my surgery at NYU in NYC.

I have to push mine off. I had an endoscopy today and my stomach and esophagus are filled with ulcers. I'd rather be healthy than have more of a risk - so I'll wait patiently. :)

Surgery scheduled 9/22! The liquid diet is a beast, getting a little easier, and today when I weighed in at my pre-op visit I was down 6 pounds from last week. Hanging in there, only a few more days to go!

Tomorrow is my pre-op appointment and surgery is Tuesday the 22nd. I'm so ready and excited but a little nervous. I'm finally going to start a new chapter of living a healthy lifestyle. Please keep me in your prayers..

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
