Surgery in May?

  • Popular Post

Hello,

I was approved for surgery last Thursday and scheduled the actual surgery date for May 15th. I am beyond excited! I am pleased with how smooth the insurance approval went. It took one day to get an approval so thankfully I did not have to wait. Anyone else have surgery in May? And for those of you who have already had surgery what do I pack in my hospital bag? I am so looking forward to this next chapter in my life.

Oh me too! I’ve got 12 days and I can hardly sleep! I’ve never had any surgeries before! Heck I’ve never even broken a bone! Honestly the scariest part for me is the anesthesia. But we’ll be great! Best wishes! Remember how hard we’ve worked and that we deserve to be happy and healthy.

Good luck with your last testing, Gosh it is getting CLOSE!?

My surgery is May 9–RNY. I start my liquid diet on Wednesday. I am soooo excited and at the same time terrified.

Excited to make the change. ?

I just had mine three days ago! I’m not gonna lie the recovery was a little rough for me. I’m still in some pain, but the pain meds help! I would definitely say relax but also get up and get moving that helps out so much! And definitely bring comfy clothes!


Welcome, make yourself to home. You may find a surgery day twin here, that is always fun. We are happy to answer any questions you may have, everybody helps everyone else around here. We range from "newbies" like yourself clear up to,seasoned veterans of many years. Have a problem , think you're alone? Bet you're not, I had one,myself, posted it on her and I had 5 people respond, and they gave me really good advice. Solved my problem just like that!
I'm about half way through, myself, I have completed all my prerequirements, seen all my specialists and am now waiting for a date. Maybe June, maybe July.

Anyone having surgery on May 18th!! My birthday is May 29 so I look at this as a birthday present “To Me/ From Me”!!!


And this gift won't have to be returned because it's going to be just Your Size!
