FEBRUARY 20!! Surgery Buddy?!?



Recommended Posts

Starting my liquid diet today and having RNY surgery on February 20th. I’m so excited! Has anyone come into any road blocks this close? I’ve had a few with the pulmonary department so I don’t wanna get ahead of myself. I wasn’t that consistent with my vitamins.. any advice?

Not too bad for someone who is going to have a Rny either February 15tth or early next month depending whether the scheduling office or the surgeon's office are correct. Been getting conflicting messages, hopefully it will,all get straightened out Tuesday mornings . As the old saying goes I don't know whether to fish or cut bait. I need to either start a liquid diet or lay in supplies for later.

Well I hope everything works out for u. I think ive been so lucky because I really haven't had any problems. Smooth. I do believe my daughter is getting me sick. Lol so I need to call the drs tomorrow. I wish I was a little more prepared with my stuff like shakes.

Hi @chamomilelavender I'm February 20th RNY too. :) I'm on Day 3 of the pre-op liquid diet. So far it really hasn't been too bad; a little hunger, a little craving to chew. But, those have been outweighed by the gravity of the situation I'm in--to prepare for surgery and shrink my liver. I don't want to fork up anything, so I'm on the straight and narrow.

How are you doing?

*waves to everyone in the room* Howdy!

Thats awesome. Just the beginning of your life. Surgery will be here before u know it. The pain should be gone in a few days then you will be sore forever a few days.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
