Surgery Date 10/31/2016



Recommended Posts

Make sure you have a good before photo so that you will have something to compare it with after surgery.

When you go to the hospital request a trapeze bar above your hospital bed. It will help you get up after surgery. Less painful on your stomach.

My surgery date is October 31st too. Going in for gastric bypass following a lap band leak and removal about a year ago. Am at my highest weight now but was able to be successful with my LB before it leaked so looking forward to working my "new permanent tool." Am on liquids now, had my pre-op yesterday and check in Monday at 6:45 am. Based on everyone's suggestions and lots of YouTube videos I have picked up Biotene, Gas X strips, Chapstick, and comfy pants for the hospital and will be taking one of my own pillows. I downloaded a timer app to remind me to drink and have picked up multiple types of flavored and unflavored Protein powders, shakes, Water flavorers, Soups that can be blended, and vitamin patches to get me through the first few days of being home. I'm having surgery at Kaiser South Bay by Dr. Robert Zane and if all goes well should only have to stay in the hospital one night. Good Luck to you on your surgery and I look forward to sharing our stories when we are on the losing side!

How's everyone doing? My surgery was Monday and I was released Tuesday. I have to say coming home and off the iv meds has been hard and I'm in quite a bit of pain. Looking forward to it being like a month from now lol! Hope everyone's surgery went well. We're on the losing side yay!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
