I’m scheduled for my bypass on December 4th. Is anyone else having their surgery in December? I’m nervous but excited!

@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!

Congratulations! Glad everything is gone smooth! Happy healing and weight loss [emoji5]

@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.

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

I'm having surgery on the December 22nd. I'm going thru the liquid diet. I am so nervous.

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...

Lots of surgeries coming up still. Praying everyone else that has had surgery this month is doing well. Don’t be shy, come update us how you are!

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