February Surgery Buddies!



Recommended Posts

Mine is scheduled for 2/19. This is my first post and thought I'd just read instead of jumping in to the discussions but I'm going to need the support and most of y'all seem super nice and helpful!

Ask any questions you want, we all want to help anyway we can. I'm pre surg myself although I've been a Bariatric Pal for several months. We have a lot of WLS veterans on here, they have or are still fighting pounds on their journeys but still have time to mentor and encourage us all. I'm 72, planning early-mid March RnY at Mount Carmel in Columbus Ohio. More frightened of not having surgery than the actual surgery. I can do this. I'm in it to win it. Won't be the walk in the park it is for the younger ones but I can still rescue a smaller size and good health from the grasp of chubbyhood. Care to join me on this long fruitful journey? The best is just ahead.

My bypass is also Feb. 27th. I've been thinking about doing this for so many years and now I'm just ready to get this done!! I have to do a liquid diet on Monday. I was talking to a friend about her bypass that she had 15 years ago. Boy!! Have things changed! She knew nothing about the amounts of Vitamins and minerals she needs to maintain her health!

Dunno. Hoping to find the other flavors at Sam's today but suspect it might be an Amazon purchase.
[mention=334415]KayeQuiroz80[/mention] It's so much better than the Isopure Clear, but yeah, it does have a tannic/citric acid feel to it. I cut it with Water and it helps. But glad the world is made of all kinds of peeps with different tastes! [emoji3]

Sam’s only had fruit punch (not a fruit punch fan) but I found the other 2 flavs, orange/mango (my favorite) and Raspberry on Amazon.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
