December Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

RNY scheduled for 12/18 but bumped to 12/26, which I am incredibly ticked off about (sorry kids, no christmas for you because we have to travel and spend the holidays in the hospital). Surgery will be at one of the Baylor Medical facilities in DFW. Ten day clear liquid diet prior to surgery.

Surgery is not for weight loss but to try to correct intermittent gastric volvulus. I do not want this surgery and am only having it because gastric volvulus has an 80% mortality rate. If it doesn’t correct it, I have changed my entire life for nothing. Sorry for the bad vibes, but it is what it is.

Lap band placed 12/10
Lap band removed 05/14
Gastric bypass 11/17 due to gastric volvulus caused from lap band adhesions

@MommaScoggs Hang in there -- the timing may not be ideal, but you'll address a medical problem and lose weight -- you did have band at some point, so I assume weight loss would not be unwelcome. How old are your kids? Any opportunity to have some grandparent time?

Yes it’s been hard to post while in hospital. I’m not sure if it was the anesthesia or what but my eyesight has been very blurry if I’m trying to read. Doctor says probably four weeks for me off of work because of my job.

Sending good vibes everyone’s way for their procedure this month...we have a bunch.

Did you have scopaderm Patches behind your ear to control for nausea? They make your vision blurry, and it rights itself soon after they are removed!

Hi all! My surgery is scheduled for December 6th....and I'm feeling all the feels everyone else is! I'm thankful I only have to do the liquid diet starting at noon the day before.
Good luck to everyone! [emoji4]


Surgery buddies! I just had mine yesterday. How are you doing? I'm having major gas pains in my left side but nausea is gone and I'm up walking tons. How is your journey?

I’m fresh out of surgery! Just got done a few hours ago and resting now. The pain meds are working great and I have little nausea, they did give preventive meds for that though. So happy to finally be on this side!




Congratulations!

@jocelynann I just had my surgery Monday. I didn't anticipate the gas pains but wanted to let you know I'm in the same boat. It's the only thing making me feel uncomfortable so far.

My surgery is the 14th. I had my colonoscopy and endoscopy this morning. All is clear on both ends. LOL Praying for quick healing for all of you,

Yup. It was the scopolamine patch. My vision is ok now. Good to know for anyone else. :blink:

Still having a lot of right sided pain which seems unique. Just taking it a day at a time and trying to be patient.

How are you doing now? Is your pain from the laproscopy gas?

you have been in my thoughts as you start your journey. For me, 4 more sleeps. Start my three-day liquid diet tomorrow...

Pre-surgery appointment later this morning where I will get my surgery date. It still looks like a December surgery. Fingers crossed!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
