Wish Me Luck!



Recommended Posts

Just an update, I unfortunately did NOT get banded on the 5th as planned...had a low grade fever so they sent me home....

Needless to say, I was VERY depressed and frustrated about it, which is why I didn't post anything...didn't want to whine out loud.

However, I am now once again psyched up and ready to rock. I am scheduled for tomorrow morning (April 17th). So please wish me luck, I'm suppose to stay in the hospital for approx 4 days (doctors requirement) so I will send an update when I get out.

Thank you all for the invaluable information you've provided.

Thank you everyone....all your good wishes and thoughts worked!

it's done...I had the surgery on Sunday morning, 4/17. Everything went find according to my doctor, he was so proud he showed me pictures, yuck! I had some sort of episode with my lungs, he said I had a bronchial spasam...whatever that is so I spent the first night in ICU...the doctor here likes to keep his patients in for a couple of days so I was released yesterday afternoon. I'm home, navigating the bed and couch, feeling like a beached whale...EVERYTHING (except my eyelids) seems swollen but doing alright.

You guys were right, it really isn't bad, a little tightness and pressure around the incisions but other than that, no biggie...course drugs do help.

He has me on antibiotics, pain, Vitamins and antacid...

I don't feel depressed or regrets at all, I AM concerned about success but I'm that way with everything.

Again, thank you all for your support.

Thank you everyone...just found dylansmoms food list and printed it out..for some reason my doctor doesn't do that...not sure why...but I wasn't worried, knew I could find what I needed on this great forum.

Sue, the only advice I can give you is do exactly what your doctor and nurses tell you to and don't be embarrassed to ask questions....if something doesn't feel right ask about it...I didn't know about the stomach area getting distended, it was REALLY uncomfortable, so I asked and was very relieved to find out it was normal and it has gotten better with shall I say it? Pooties!

good luck hon! I'll be thinking about you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
