Week of 11/9/2020 surgeries



Recommended Posts

Anyone else next week, I’m 11/9 for a bypass. Just looking to see if anyone wanted to be a little support group for each other, motivators for one another. I imagine it’s nice to converse with people at the same place in the journey :)

Hi I am 11/10 the day after you and I would be happy to be a motivator for one another. Maybe we can setup a zoom call weekly or something like that,

Yes I had my surgery on Nov.11th! Gastric sleeve was done. What did ya'll have done and how do you feel?
I felt pretty miserable in the hospital the day I was discharged. I felt like they didn't do very well keeping me on top of the pain. I has morphine for a short while and then TramAdol and one Tylenol 3 with codeine. I seriously felt like I regretted doing the surgery. But once I got home and could take the prescriptions the doctor gave me for pain I felt a lot better.

I have to say I had mine on the 8th and I am in barely any pain. I’m actually surprised at how smooth the recovery has been. The hospital stay was brutal though.

I have to agree I feel a lot better since I've been home but at the hospital was brutal. I didn't realize I'd have to be on top of making sure they'd bring me pain medication as much as I did. Unfortunately, by that point I was miserable and in tears. It's so much better once you get home!

Oh I am so with you on that one. I take narcotics for hip arthritis because I’m a lifer on anticoagulants and my options are super limited. I started detoxing in the hospital because they didn’t take into consideration that it had been 14 hours since I’d had any.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
