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 ????

      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.

      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! 😞
