Was anyone an outpatient for surgery?



Recommended Posts

I was an outpatient and am currently on an enhanced recovery plan. I had surgery on 3/26/18 with Dr.Tim Faulkenberry. So far I have lost 15lbs since surgery.

I didn't see many people on here that were an outpatient for surgery or talk about an enhanced recovery program.

Just wondering if anyone had or is in a similar situation?

Hi! I'm a Fass patient so we probably had nearly the same protocol. My surgery was 4/2.

I've attached photos from my booklet. Part of the enhanced recovery was for me to be an outpatient for surgery. So I had surgery and then was released within a few hours after surgery. My surgeon said the program is meant for patients to have less side effects and complications and to heal faster and be able to eat sooner. 20180405_172539.jpg 20180405_172619.jpg 20180405_172557.jpg

Thank you and congrats as well! I remembered my last visit with my nutrionist, after that everything moved so quickly!

Everyone I told about my surgery thought it was strange that I was being released so soon after surgery. It actually ended up being fine. I had minimal pain, but did have tons of naseau from the anesthesia.

Hope all goes well for you![emoji2]

Oh, sorry! Dr Fass is in the same practice as Dr Faulkenberry. I think they use the same protocol.

I was an outpatient last Thursday. Dr. Schmitt performed my sleeve and hernia repair. My recovery is not any different from his hospital stay patients though.

      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...

      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
