I have pre-op today. Not sure what to expect... other than I saw my husband go thru it with a surgery he had at the same hospital... but his was the Day before... I went to my primary doctor 2 weeks ago for my annual and I had lost weight so that’s good. (I don’t have a scale in the house so I don’t weigh myself).

I’m a little nervous. During this whole process I’ve been really sticking to what needs to be done today rather than thinking too much about the surgery so now my mind is all on the surgery! I nearly forgot about this very important day, or it sure feels important.... I’m meeting the surgeon today.

I've also booked 2 weeks off but my manager & director have been really understanding about all this. They assured me that if I need more time it's no big deal. The only stressor is that I'm the only one in my department so anything that doesn't get done while I'm gone will just be piled up waiting for me when I return. I'm hoping I can focus and go hard on my courses while I'm off work at least.
It's slowly becoming reality so I'm trying not to panic about what needs to be done prior. Thankfully I have a good support system at home so nothing to worry about there.

Okay I'm back home surgery went pretty well they ended up taking my gallbladder because I found a small polyp in it. Painless pretty intense the first day at the surgery and then it hit its peak at 3 a.m. I guess technically the morning after the surgery it was really bad. I had severe shortness of breath and my heart was all over the place so they ended up ordering at CAT scan of my chest and ultrasounds of my legs to look for blood clots and then an upper GI to make sure everything was in order. I'm glad to say that all of those tests came back normal and my shortness of breath is still here but obviously getting much better. They kept me in hospital for 2 days technically three because I wasn't released until 8 last night. The nurses were phenomenal at my hospital I felt very good and taking care of I walked a grand total of 50 laps around the nurses station and every time I went at least one nurse and look at how good your doing. When they release me my heart was still a little bit all over the place but the doctor felt confident that I'd be okay going home. So here I am I got up this morning and did walk the length of my house 8 times I had my first Breakfast which was super runny yogurt took my Prilosec and crushed at my potassium and hid it in the yogurt. I also got to take the bandages off today and take a nice warm shower that I'm very tired after all the activity and will be in bed for the next hour to hour and a half. How did everybody else do you had surgery on the 9th 10th or 11th

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so 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.
