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!

      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!!
