Looking for Pre/ post buddies - Surgery date: 18/12/15



Recommended Posts

Hello Guys,

Im new here!!!

Im extremely nervous (As I'm sure everyone usually is), Im in desperate need for some support and some surgery buddies as my surgery is a bit of a secret (to my friends and all my family except for my mum).

My surgery date is the 18th of December 2015 in England

Is anyone else getting sleeved around the same day?

Has anyone used Professor Ammori in Manchester?

Hi Ineedchangeasap,

Well done on booking your surgery date!

It is natural to be nervous and I don't want to make it any worse for you but I thought you should be careful given this article. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mums-year-long-agony-after-6340651

Mr Ammori left a tube in someone, I would just make sure your aftercare isn't negligent at all to make sure he doesn't make the same mistake twice.

Hey Slevels1,

Thank you so much!

Yes I actually ask him about it, and I understand that these things can happen to anyone/ any Dr (hopefully not me! Hehehe).

How has your process been?

Hi there - my surgery is actually on the 9th of December - so just a few days before yours. I live in the US - but happy to find someone having the same surgery as me. For me they just moved my surgery UP - it was scheduled on the 15th but they called and asked if I could do it on the 9th. I am nervous. I am really nervous about pain in the hospital after the surgery. All my doctor mentioned was tylenol and motriin and I need real pain killers I am a big baby with pain. I also get anxious when I am in pain.

What are you doing to pass the time between now and your surgery? Did you stick to the pre-op diet so far. I haven't been that great on my preop diet...

Im December 18th as well... Yes I'm nervous but that's to be expected and I just literally started my pre op diet and I don't mind the shakes so far. Hopefully everyone will have the best of experiences here like so many have????. Wishing all the best.

Yes Amit's a good combination of excitement with a tad of fear... No so much of the fear of the surgery but more fear of the future and how hard this is going to be for sure.

I thought I was the only one who was scared that the surgery might not work, or that I might not lose as much weight as I wanted to. Right now I am doing the three shakes a day pre op diet I'm losing my mind its so hard

      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!!

      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?
