Surgery scheduled May 30!

[Seahawks Fan 771]

The long wait is over & the short wait begins. They called this morning & scheduled my surgery & pre-op/post-op appointments. I attended my seminar in January so it hasn't taken all that long. Hopefully there are no unexpected surprises.

Very happy for you. I will find out my date when I go to my pre-op on the 9th.

Good luck. I also have my surgery scheduled for May 30th. This forum has been a great resource. I read the negative and the positve to prepare myself.

I been having mixed thoughts/emotions & weird dreams & that's totally out of the ordinary for me but I think it has a lot to do with the pre-op diet & low carbs. It's a huge change/commitment & there is a certain level of fear/uncertainty going on which is also out of the ordinary for me. I just already want to eat normally & small portions are fine but this pre-op & I'm sure post-op diet as well are tolerable but in a behind bars kind of way! Smaller stomach/ smaller meals should be easy compared to this agony!

It does get easier. I have one week of liquids left prior to surgery and today was the easiest tet.

today is the day! i hope everything goes great.

It was actually cancelled on last week, because my blood pressure was too high and the anesthesiologist wouldn't proceed. So, I am now cocentrating on getting my blood pressure down so I can get it rescheduled, hopefully towards the end of the month.

oh man, i am SO sorry! i would have broken down if they rescheduled me! (especially after working my butt off on this pre-op diet!) but you have to be healthy and take no chances! i hope that you get your BP right and get a new date soon! hugs

Yeah, it was pretty devastating. I was at work and it just deflated me. I really appreciate you following up, it was very thoughtful of you and people like you make me work even harder to get my bp down. For whatever reason the day I had an appt to start my pre-op it was 164/108, not sure what caused that. I have been cutting my salt and sodium intake and also not stressing over things.

Have you had it checked since then by anyone?
Fingers crossed it's under control so you can proceed.

[tx_scorpio 17]

I have been checking it and it has been in the low 120's and 130's and bottom number in the 90's.

[Joann454 1,329]

Is that normal for you or higher than usual?

[Joann454 1,329]

I can't believe they wouldn't consider that one high one an anomaly and proceed. I had a set back as well. I too was devastated. Here I sit newly sleeved. It'll happen for you too.
