Surgery done!! And listen what happen with my nurse prep



Recommended Posts

Had surgery today all went well. Already walked and blew in my new toy. Pain not so bad more when I sit up to go walking etc. Sipping has gone well, try to have an ice chip but really got nauseated but did not throw up.

So I got to the hospital the nurse that prepping me weight me.in and said you don't weight that much. After 8 days of liquid down to 218 started with my jitters of backing out thank God for my husband honey you are doing it for your overall health. Then again when doing paper work and more prepping she said you really don't need this surgery my husband gave the look. Again got nervous and my husband said to me and the nurse you are doing this for here health.. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and my BMI was 39.8 t hyroid, joint pain etc.. then finally the nurse relaized be use my blood pressure was going crazy.. I should have said look at my chart because every dr visit and appt they always to my I am obese.

Again everyone thank you for your amazing support.

Congrats on your surgery! It always amazes me reading stories like this, you'd figure the nursing staff would know better.

@ newme,in fla, that is curious reaction from that nurse, maybe she thought you were doing this for cosmetic reasons?
Well you know what brought you there, what you are hoping to lessen or end influence in your life and what your final goal is. I would say that makes you 3 times as smart as her!

Yeah isn’t crazy the stuff staff can say!!! Congratulations on your surgery! My spouse just had it on Tuesday but had to stay in the hospital last night again, can’t barely keep Water down and very nauseous. So when the day nurse brought in the evening nurse to introduce her to us she asked (while my spouse was dry heaving mind you) so do you think you’ll be able to go home later tonight? My reaction are you kidding me?! Can’t get any liquids. I can’t believe the nurse even asked that question!! If sent home would be back in er or hospital in a few days dehydrated dumb dumb!!! Another fine example of they should know better!

I would not have been so nice. It's not anyone's but your surgeons place to say something like that. Good for you for staying calm and hats off to your husband for keeping you there. Good luck on your recovery!!!

Your nurse had no right saying the things she said to you. She is not your doctor or a "DOCTOR!!" Should have said something to your surgeon.

As a nurse, I CRINGE hearing that. As medical professionals, we need to stay in our own lane, know when to speak, when to listen, and when things are none of our business. She is supposed to be a supportive presence, not a demoralizing one.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
