What's your Pre-Op To Dos?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a long list of to dos before surgery? I do. I'm interested in hearing about everyone's. So far I have a small list. I want to get an idea of everyone else's to see if I'm forgetting stuff. I mean I want to hear everything. For me I have:

Deep clean bathroom

Vacuum

Clean out kitchen non bariatric foods

Do all dishes

Get car professionally cleaned for trip

Get oil changed

Clean litter boxes

Clean pet bowls

Sweep/mop

Walk through with pet sitter

Put fresh sheets on bed

Take out trash

This is a small list and I feel there is more. Let's help everyone out so that we're all prepared when it comes time!!

I'm going to prepare some freezer meals for my family so that my husband doesn't have to cook every night. I have 3 children so they'll all need to eat while I drink and recover.




That's a good one!!

Put together a small bag, make sure you have something from home with you. Sounds like you're getting it done away from home.

Thank you! I would have forgotten, I never take pics of myself. :)

I need to request vacation time at work.

Make a living will ( I don't have one and I know it's a negative state of mind but, it would make me feel better)

Grocery shop for husband and kids.

Subscribe to HBO Now and Starz so I have more to watch when I'm post op and bored.

I understand. I shared my LastPass password with hubs before surgery.

Subscriptions are probably a good idea. I subscribed to Netflix a couple years ago when I had bronchitis and never looked back. :-)

Don't forget to shop for post-op foods and have them ready and waiting so it's one less thing to worry about. My local grocery store does deliver, so I have that IF I forget something but I don't want to have to use that service if I don't have to. I'm curious though how I will feel. My friend who was sleeved went shopping - like shopping shopping - the day after she came home. She felt great - I hope I have the same luck!

      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!
