Pre-op 45 year old here...My first post



Recommended Posts

Sup all...I currently pre-op working through my checklist of all the medical test and screenings. I am shooting to get a surgery date in April/May. I see there hasn't been any post in this area in a long time. Hopefully I can connect with patients in my age group, but Any age is welcome though. Holla if you want. In the meantime, I will keep checking out post in other areas.

Hi Kats. Thanks. I need the luck. I just hit a slight snag. I have to have some blockage cleared from an artery before I can proceed. But I am glad I am finding out now. After that I should be able to get a surgery date.

Good luck to those with upcoming surgery dates. I had an angiogram procedure this past week that has set me back, but I am back on track and hope to get a surgery date soon.

Hi everyone, I don't have my surgery date yet!!!! but have psych eval in April my journey is getting close to begin. I'm 47 and still not sure what surgery between sleeve and RNY will be better for me. Waiting after Endoscopy to find out. I have Gerd and hopeful after results will determine my procedure.

No surgery date for me yet. I am still optimistic and am looking forward. I'm still dropping pounds and will exceed my pre-op goal soon. As soon as I get a date I will let everyone know.

      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!!
