June 2020 surgeries

[nicoleh5686 2]

Hello all,

I'm new here and I'll be having VSG done on the 15th of June. I'm a little nervous but I'm ready!!! I think I'm just anticipating how I'll feel after surgery. Currently no one is allowed to come to the hospital with me, so I kind feel alone. How are you guys feeling about getting your surgery while Corona is still around?

I’m super nervous myself. I only have one person allowed with me before I go into surgery, but after I go in I’m on my own. I think it’s just the point where I need to focus on healing and getting healthy. I know you’ll do great! Don’t worry too much!

I’m having mine done on June 15 as well. My surgery is being done in Vegas. My daughter can’t be with me during the surgery, but they will pick her up from the hotel when I can leave the surgery center so we can go back to the hotel together. My surgery center wasn’t used for months until about two weeks ago. I have the confidence that everything will go well.

I am scheduled for a revision from sleeve to rny on 6/23. I had my sleeve 11 years ago, and have had severe reflux since then. Scared about having another surgery, but also afraid not to. My surgeon thinks he can get rid of 90% of my reflux or more. Been sleeping mostly in a recliner for the past 11 hrs due to the reflux (bile). Anyone else scheduled this month?

I could have had my husband at the hospital with me at various points (June 2) but chose to go alone. We have a special needs kiddo and it was just way less stressful for me to know that he was with my husband and not a family member who didn’t know his quirks as well.

The only time I had a glimmer of regret was right before they wheeled me back to surgery. The unknown was scary and I could’ve used a friendly face. But my whole team was so lovely and it was a great experience in spite of my complications.

I slept, I walked, I watched trashy tv on my iPad, and I was out of there before I knew it.

Good luck! You’ll do great.

Hi Marshkey37, Aww you’re the same day as me 6/23! Congratulations on this new life ! I’m afraid too, so you aren’t alone!!

Hi jlow - what type of surgery are you having?

I am currently in recovery. Everything went smoothly. I have some tummy pains but it's not unbearable. I wanted to get up and potty a half hour after surgery. It was tough then, especially trying to wipe myself, but it's getting easier. About to walk around in circles in my room to try and get more of this gas out (hoping that will help with the tummy pain)

Girl, YOU DID IT!!!!! I'm so HAPPY for you. And walking 30 minutes after getting to your room? ROCKSTAR. Keep us updated. I'd take a play by play if you're up to it and need the distraction. Otherwise know we're rooting for you. Sip walk and sleep!!! WELL DONE!!
