2 Days Before Surgery!



Recommended Posts

I think if I did that, I would go to the store and get some Miralax and drink that then drink tons of Gatorade so I wouldn't be dehydrated before going into surgery. Might put your mind at ease. That's what you do the day before a colonoscopy. chop chop! get to the store! LOL

I was able to eat up until today when I started a clear liquid diet. My surgery is tomorrow. I’ve been on a liver shrinking diet for two weeks so I’ve been eating lightly anyway. Today I had to do a colon cleanse, oh so pleasant. Do you have to do that?

Wow....no I don't have to do that. Let me know how your surgery goes, I'm going to keep you in my prayers.

I don't think I do for this surgery but I did for a colonoscopy. It's like giving yourself an upset stomach on purpose.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
