Any February Surgery Dates...



Recommended Posts

I go on Monday. Waiting for the call tomorrow with the time. Haven't packed yet but I did stock up on my Clear Liquids. I have friends who had the surgery and they brought me tons of Protein powders and different types of Vitamins to try. Getting excited! And nervous!!!!!t!!

That's the wait that is getting me the most, is the wait for the time.... Already talked to the pre admit surgery nurse, but getting the time is stressing me out. I get so worried about, what if I miss the call, what if they forget to call. In the paper work it says if you don't get the call the day before your surgery to call in... Ummm really? Like you say the day before , but what time will you call so I know when to check by Kwim? And to top it off surgery on a Monday so doc isn't open the day before. It's got me all tied in knots. I told hubby, that if I don't hear something by 1pm than I'm calling

Good luck to you!

Good luck to you as well! I had my gallbladder out two weeks ago at the same hospital and they called around 2:30 so that's what I'm expecting. But you are right the wait for the time is all nerve wracking. Then Saturday I begin my liquid diet! Have lots planned to stay busy this weekend so I dont fixate on food.

I have a tentative date scheduled for the 22nd. My son has to have surgery about a week and a half before. If all goes well my surgery will happen then. If anything happens to delay my son getting home though mine will be postponed. :unsure:

Did you get your call? I finally caved in an called, I couldn't take it anymore. ;) I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning. =) I'm really happy with that. When I did the sleeve I didn't have to be there till after one with surgery time of 3. I was so dehydrated that they took an hour to find a vein and I almost didn't get the surgery. This time I can drink up till 12 so I will drink away lol, and I went today and bought hand warmers to put in my pockets to help with circulation. I have a bad thyroid so my extremities are always so cold. And I am such a horrible stick. =( Right after I called about the time, the atheist called and admitting called so I am all set! Now I will focus on the lesson I am teaching in primary for sunday school, so I can keep my mind off of food.< /p>

I also got the call...6 am! Tomorrow I start my liquid diet for the weekend. Nothing after midnight. A tiny sip of Water with my meds in the morning but that's it. I cried when I hung up. It's seemed like it was taking so long and now the day is fast approaching. Nervous!!!

Happy for you????! I am Feb 8, too! I'm on my 6 day of my liver cleansing diet. I get to meet my surgery team and do any final prep they might need on Feb 5. Doesn't seem real in a way, but you get all excited and panicked in a way, also!! Wish you the best ????

      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!
