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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
