I have my psych evaluation left to submit to get my pre-certification for surgery. I’m nervous but they seem to think it will all go through without a hitch.
Me, too! My psych appointment is the 19th--I had to wait to schedule it for Winter Break to start. I'm getting really antsy, lol We (probably) have a strike coming in January, so I'm hoping to have my surgery scheduled during that. Part of me wants it done ASAP, this year, part of me wants to be strategic...of course, it's anyone's guess what my surgeon's calendar looks like 🤷

Mine is tomorrow at 0745 too! I'm nervous but excited. I'm nearly packed (need CPAP packed in morning) and my laptop then I'm ready. Been off work a few days and I'm already bored lol. I'm taking the full month so I can enjoy holidays with my family.

How do you feel physically? My anxiety keeps triggering headaches.

My surgery is same day surgery center- after few hours, up walking, able to sip and hold down Fluid, you are discharged. I live in Las Vegas. People from all over the country come to this practice to get this procedure done. They call it fast track. In 5 days get all testing done Psychological is done on line, ULTRASOUND IF NEEDED, EKG, STRESS TEST, EGD, BLOOD WORK, NUTRITION CONSULT, VGS SURGERY, IV THERAPY NEXT DAY then return home. The surgeons have been here for years, they have perfected the process, the patients absolutely get door to door service. Hotel, private car service to and from all appointments. 😁 Of course I live here so I completed my process over few weeks.
Good Luck tomorrow , remember go into procedure with happy positive thoughts 😃

Day 1 post op, finally sitting in another chair. Day 0 I was in and out of consciousness all day. Surgery was 0745, spent 2 hours in recovery before being moved to my room. I remember waking up in recovery moaning loudly. The nurse was there and administered 1st round of pain meds. The pain was unbelievable. Nothing hurt worse than just laying in the same position in bed for 24 hours. I'm hoping today is better. I'm supposed to walk and I'm feeling so sleepy.

I feel you! For some reason that's still not clear to my fuzzy head, I was in surgery for 2hrs but recovery for a little over 5hrs. Don't remember too much until I got to my room. It's getting a little better each day but this is definitely the toughest part!! Hang in there!

Day 2 less than 24 hours post op, sleep most of the day in my own bed😁 up every 2 hours to walk. Slowly drinking fluids was able to get 40oz in... some residual pain in upper abdomen not as bad as Michael Tyson punch I was feeling yesterday. Took 1 oxy last evening @4pm and 1 this morning @ 7am, still with some nausea but it passes pretty quickly. Vick’s vapor rub helps with that. I went into clinic this am for scheduled IV therapy feel much better. I’m thinking I will survive 😃 my hubby is calling me a trooper. Happy and positive thoughts to all!

It isn’t that bad... it is worth the discomfort for the long term goals. I had a double hernia repair likely reason for the increased pain. Think positive

I think it's different for everyone. I asked if this was like my c-sections and was told no, but I think those surgeries were much easier. I feel my clinic in under played this by a lot. I am strong and have great support so I'll be ok. If you have sort in place then you'll be fine as well! It's ok to be nervous. I was even to the last minute. They encouraged me to take Xanax the morning of to help with nerves. (It's perscribed to me)Good luck! Snapchat-985608564.jpeg

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
