One day post op. Few issues but it all worked out.

I was all prepped for my 11:40 surgery and my anesthesiologist said that since I hadn’t had my blood pressure meds he was going to order them for me to take with a smalle sip of Water.

I told them that my surgeon said that unless I could get up at 5am and take them that I should skip them this morning and I would get them later. But hey have it to me anyway.

My surgeon finished the surgery before me and came to see me. Her first question was... did they give you a pill?!

SMH. I told her what happened and that I told them my instructions from her. Although she told me not to worry and that I did nothing wrong, she came back after a stern chat with the anesthesiologist and nurses to tell me that my surgery got pushed and she would need to take the next person in line in order to give me four hours to digest the pill.

it was a little disappointing but mostly unfortunate for my family that was waiting around.

It all worked out fine, I went in at 2 pm instead but my advice to others is that you have to be willing to fight for yourself sometimes. Especially if you knew what your surgeon requested of you.

I’m in my room. Minor nausea yesterday when I stood up to go to rest room and to walk laps. They say it’s the morphine causing that. I threw up each time although there was nothing in my stomach so it was mostly heaving up saliva. But laying down I have a bit of trapped gas but nothing bad.

Hope others had good surgeries yesterday!

So glad your doing well. Can you get some meds for nausea. And ask for a different kind if those dont work.

Kinda strange that the other part of the surgery team didnt know about not taking a pill before your stomach is worked on. I bet they know now.

Keep us updated.... I still a month out from the sleeve

Hi @Chrisb428 Thank you! When is your big day? Excited? Nervous? Any pre-op diet?

[Chrisb428 626]

So my Dr's office called me yesterday, while I was in the middle of a nursing home tour for my mother, said I was approved for surgery!!! I was so excited to get the approval, the woman then started to tell me about lab work and diet and I asked her to email the details since I was sitting in the heat with my tour guide on hold. She agreed to send me the details and we hung up. After I got home I checked my email, no info from the surgeons office, I called and they were closed. Urggg I know I will call them on Monday for reaffirm everything and I have the preop diet info in a binder they gave me so its fine but if you say you're going to send someone information dang it then send it before you clock out!!! (rant over)

Hi...I’m a summer surgery buddy...my surgery is scheduled for July 30. Started process in April....have completed my psych, sleep study, endocrinologist, stress test and EKG. I found YouTube and Pinterest to be very helpful. It’s so nice to see what has or has not worked for others.
I too am excited to hear from others who are on the same timeline. It’ll be fun to share ideas.

Just got home from hospital after surgery on the 12th.

Dr and nurses said I did really well for someone 1 and 2 days post op. No complications mild nausea from morphine. But that’s it. Glad to be home and starting the healing process.

Let’s do this!
