Let’s start an August surgery thread ?

Surgery was aug 12th !

Hi Everyone!
I had my surgery 8/20 and I’m still sore but excited for this journey !

That is quite possible especially if you had sugar issues. I would wait at least 90 days as long as nothing major before going to an eye doctor for new glasses. If it seems to be a bigger issue definitely get that checked out. I know my moms glasses needs changed greatly after surgery

It turns out it was the anti nausea patch I wore behind my ear for the surgery. The nurse called me 2 days after going home to check on me. She confirmed that vision would return to normal a few days after removing the patch. And it did!

Yayy!! Although I am so nervous and yet excited , my surgery day is tomorrow morning at 7:30am August 24th ???????.

Surgery is tomorrow, 8/24 at 7:30am. Today is going to be a bit more tough since I can only have liquids but I’m excited and anxious for tomorrow and for this life change :)

Blessing to those having surgery tomorrow ??.

Had mines the 8/20 I’m still in the hospital mines was more complicated because of scar tissue from previous surgeries appendix and gallbladder removal. The only pain I have is GAS OMG

August 4th for this girl. Conversion from sleeve to RYN, with large type III hernia repair. Everything went great. I feel great but have lots of limitations until hernia repair heals. Doing 3-4 walks a day. Best part... I am getting out of vacuuming and scooping cat boxes for a few more weeks! Dr’s orders.

Hi! Surgery went well, no surprises or anything unexpected according to my surgeon. The gas pain is finally better today as I was able to expel some and I walked a lot to get it moving around. I still get bouts of nausea and cramps that last 2-4 seconds when I drink something but they said it’s normal. I will admit, forcing myself to drink is so difficult. I also admit that I get bouts of “buyers remorse” but I know it’s because I’m stressed about the nausea and struggling to have an appetite to reach my fluid and protein intake. I’m just trying to take this day-by-day.

Glad your surgery went well. I broke down crying my second day in the hospital due to a bad reaction to the anesthesia. I was puking and dry heaving and all I wanted was ginger ale to settle my stomach but I wasn’t allowed. Things did get better and just remember to take it one day at a time.
