Ohio gal with June 3, 2016 surgery



Recommended Posts

Welcome Amy! I'm a fellow Ohioian, Northeast Ohio as in Cleveland. Where are you in Ohio? I am one month post-op and had surgery at The Cleveland Clinic with Dr. Phillip Schauer.

Where are you having surgery and when? Or do you not have an exact date yet?

I'm kinda worried because I woke up with a pretty bad cough. I was suppose to have surgery in Dec but got pneumonia. I have a history of bronchitis and pneumonia. I REALLY hope I'm not getting sick again!

I hope for your sake you are not getting sick again either! I know there has been a cold working its way around up here in Ohio. Luckily (knocks on wood) I haven't gotten anything like that. I am feeling really good! Unless I overdo it (like I did Sunday with gardening), I wouldn't even know that I had surgery one month ago. I've lost at least 35 lbs so far (may be more; I haven't weighed myself in about a week or so) and I'm loving how much lighter I feel already. I don't regret doing this for one second. I did this because of diabetes being extremely difficult to control. Although I'm still using insulin, I had to lessen the amount I use last weekend, and my numbers are staying within excellent controlled range. This is the payoff for me. The weight loss is just an added bonus.

Keep my updated on your progress as you work your way towards June 3rd! Take care.

Okay everyone. It is official Bronchitis! Surgery is 3 weeks away. Does anyone know if there is a set period of time my doc is going to want me healthy before surgery. I don't want to postpone it again!

Hi, I'm in Columbus too. Having surgery at Mount Carmel West with Dr. Miller. I was actually hoping for early August but I am going to have to put mine off until October I think. I am in desperate need of a total knee replacement!!! I am really kind of devastated about it but know that in the long run i will be better off. I also work for Mount Carmel at a Pulmonary specialists office and I think, as someone else said, as long as your lungs are clear you should be fine.

      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?
