I own a fairly large company, and less than a week before my surgery 2 of my senior people resigned! I cannot believe my luck. Now I have to hunt for new people during the holiday week and I am flying out on Thursday evening! This would have been a perfect moment for some chocolate ice cream!

Hello September bypass buddies,

It's one week from tomorrow that I have surgery (9/11). I know some of you are having surgery this week. So, I wish you the best of luck. I'm also getting very nervous so I am trying to keep myself busy. I look forward to hearing you all after your surgeries.

Cheers,

chasingpolaris321 How did your surgery go? I hope you're doing well! My thoughts are with you.


Hi!! Thanks for checking! My surgery went way better than I could have hoped for. I woke up joking with the nurses and was up and out of bed the first day. I haven't had any trouble with Water or fluids (protein shakes are a little harder) and I just came home after a two night stay yesterday afternoon. I had a bit of an unusual situation with the pain medicine where I have Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction as a side effect of having my gallbladder removed, and so they did some really creative thinking with my anesthesia- I had a Ketamine infusion during the surgery and then lots of local anaesthetic to keep the incision pain down. I did end of taking one narcotic that didn't give me any trouble, and so it's been a pretty smooth few days. Today I'm going to do more walking, sipping, and Protein Shakes. Good luck to everyone with impending surgery dates! I'm thinking about you all!

This topic is moving so fast, it's already hard to keep up with who's gone through and who's still waiting and the month is just starting. I just wanted to say, good luck to everyone having the surgery this week, stay strong for all of us dealing with the pre-op diet, and hang in there to those of you anxiously awaiting the end of the month.

As for myself, I am 1 week away from surgery and getting plenty sick of Protein Shakes. We can do this!

Thank you. My surgery is on Friday but I am feeling really guilty flying away from St Florida right before hurricane Irma hits us. Some of my family is staying behind.

      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!!
