2 for 1 -- lucky me!

LUCKY ME!! I had what i believe to be my first slimming AND PB incident. It started with me having a horrible headache and sometimes when i throw up it releases some of the pressure...well it did but i was also burping [so gross sounding] and 'water' was just pouring out of my mouth. The heaving was strong enough to make one of my incisions drip blood!! All I kept thinking about was slippage! I sure hope not! Anyway, thought I would share..

I'm still sore but I'm moving around a whole lot better! Thank God! Hope everyone is doing great! Good luck to all who are up for surgery today!

blood thinner injections

I've been reading tons and tons of blogs..i dont' believe i've read any that mention having to have blood thinning injections after surgery. When I went to my preop today they told me for one week after the surgery I'd have to inject myself with blood thinners. Anyone else have to do this?:thumbup::cool2::laugh:

It'll all be worth it! anyway..went for my PreOp today..everything was fantastic! I'm so excited. good luck to all who are having surgery tomorrow!! :thumbup:

frustrated

I have been back n forth with my Dr's office for about 6 months now. If it's not one thing it's another...right now the nurse practioner says i have to get my thyroid levels in check. I'm not sure if this is coming from the doctor himself or she is just giving me the runaround. My primary doc said he didn't understand why that would keep me from having the surgery. I'm frustrated but the same time i want to go in knowing i'm safe. Anyone out there that has had hypothyroidism and still gotten the surgery??   :thumbup:
