December 2015 surgery dates?



Recommended Posts

My bag was much of the same. Packed a couple of my own night gowns. Not necessary, but made me more comfy once the catheter came out.

I must say, the distractions you packed (electronics, books, etc)...I found myself so sleepy, that was my distraction! :-)

GOOD LUCK!

Back home post op and feeling great. I had a great team and some wonderful nurses. So stoked to start this new chapter in my life.

Oh and best thing on my list? The noise cancelling headphones!

Good luck jengabee - it will go great! Keep up your positive attitude and remember that your only job post op is to get walking and peeing! Can't wait to see your email from the other side!

I go in tomorrow, be there by 10am. Operation is at 11:30.

that was my surgery time too! It's going to be perfect because you will be waking up while it is still light out. Can't wait to see your post-op message too!

I am scheduled for December 28th (12:45pm)! Started the 2-week all-liquid diet today. Ugh.

Good luck. I hope you're doing well. I started my 2 week pre-op diet on the 15th. The headache is the worst thing in the world.

Hello December-er's! (ha)

How is everyone doing? Some have had surgery, and some are on their pre-surgery diet.

I am super excited and ready to do this thing. People dealing with everything well? Would love to see more updates. :) So happy to have found BariatricPal, it has at least helped me a lot with the process I am going through. I have one week left until my big day!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
