Tomorrow is the Big day



Recommended Posts

Hello all! Tomorrow Is my big day. And I am nervous and anxious. I’m ready to get it over with. I’m curious about if anyone was able to drink Gatorade after midnight?

I would definitely say nothing by mouth after midnight. They told me a small sip to take my pill in the morning

My surgery wasn't until 3 pm so they said I could drink 8 ounces of a liquid in the morning before 9 am. So I guess it depends on what time your surgery is.

Hey, you GOT this! Good luck--prayers and good vibes coming your way!

I definitely wouldn't drink anything past midnight, then. GAWD that's early! I hated having to wait until the afternoon, but I don't think I would want to go in at 0-dark-thirty, either!

No, hon sorry nothing after midnight unless it's to take a pill. Good luck. Praying for a skilled surgeon, and good recovery.

For pain, I had 1000mg of tylenol in an IV, worked great. If anesthetic makes you nauseous, before they knock you out ask for a scopolamine patch.

Surgery went great. I’m home resting now. So far have not had any nausea except for at the hospital once. I drink in 15 min intervals and 30min before and after eating. I have been walking on the inside of my home to decrease chance of blood clots and help with the gas. The stomach binder really helps. So before you purchase one ask your surgeon If the hospital can provide one. I asked the morning of and woke up with it on. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes

      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!!
