I had my final consult with my surgeon yesterday and he was concerned that my Iron levels were low. He has asked me to have an Iron infusion (sounds very new age lol) before surgery in just over a months time. Anyone else had to do this

I had 4 iron transfusions in July, it brought my levels up from a 7 to 11. I actually have more energy than before.

More than a little anxious. Being a responsible adult and making sure things like my living will and such are up to date, and the impending doom of the 2 week liquid diet soon, have me a little stressed lol. But really, it's only human to be, so it doesn't bother me too much.

I am a little anxious too. I just had my pre op physical today and Tuesday is my pre admission appointment. It is helping to have family here as i really helps pass the time quickly!

I go the day after Labor Day! Hope my surgeon doesnโ€™t party too much. The surgery is at 730 I have to be there at 6. Hoping itโ€™s a one night stay.

Hey everyone, I am nervous! September 10th is coming up fast! But more nervous about the liquid-5 day diet, the gas after the surgery Iโ€™ve heard about and how to eat in the following weeks after. I canโ€™t wait for the tool to be my new life. It I am so scared about all the stuff leading up to that and shortly after.

I have heard people mention Gas X melting strips, but I cant find them anywhere even on the company website...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an updateย here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOLย

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
