I got my surgery date!



Recommended Posts

Heeeey guys, remember me? ;D

I was the one wanting the surgery before I was 18, but I managed to just tough it out, and get my 6 months of dieting out of the way - and here I am! I started my all liquids diet today, and I'm scheduled for surgery on March 17 with Dr. Hall in Lubbock. Now that there's a date...it's real now, you know? I'm starting to get a little nervous, but I know all of this is totally worth it.

Thank ya'll for all the support in the previous threads I posted - it means so much. I CANNOT wait to have my life changed for the better.

I call it my 'skinny bitch' surgery. :laugh:

so please, tell me how you all are doing with the band, I would really love some morale-boosters and just some more feedback! Some friends to chat with would be spectacular, as well.

also...anyone have some good liquids to suggest? My sister made me some awesome broth, but I need some variety!

that's awesome! I was nervous before my surgery, but it all went well, so don't be worried! Some liquids I had were broth and different types of Soups (watch the sodium content!!) and also those Crystal light things!

Congrats, mine was supposed to be the 17th as well but it was postponed because of some cancer patients (totally pissed about that) Anyway let me know how your surgery goes!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
