January Surgery Dates!



Recommended Posts

Who's getting their surgery in January? I just got my insurance approval today, and I meet with my surgeon Wednesday the 16th of Dec. The scheduler said that I will most likely get my surgery on the 5th of january because he only has one scheduled on the 5th, and he is out of the office until my appointment! I am beyond excited!

Hi, just waiting for confirmation but when I saw my surgeon a week ago he said he thought it would be 8th January for my RNY!

After so many months of research and tests I can't believe I am nearly there! :)

The only thing I am really worried about is nutrition support (I am self pay in UK) and have seen a private NUT that my surgeon recommended (he is really lovely and has a brilliant reputation which is why I am going to him) but although great when I met her, she is rubbish at replying to emails and impossible to get on the phone which is suppose to be part of the NUT support package I paid for ...

How long and what are your Pre-op diets?

My surgeon has said he wants me to do the diet for at least a week (I am planning to do it for 2) but NOT milk based and the last 48 hours Clear liquids only. Just curious what other people have been told?

@@Bagpuss I had my preop appt on December 3rd and was told that I should start my preop diet as soon as possible. I had to wait until payday so I started mine on December 14th and my surgery is the 5th of January. My preop diet itself is just small healthy meals with lean meat like tuna, chicken breast, and turkey breast. Then I can have 3 Snacks a day as well as long as their healthy and sugar free. And he also said I could have a cheat day on Christmas and then go back on the diet the day after.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
