nauseous when needing to go to the bathroom
GB2011 replied to carolann0117's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I did today and thought I was going to throw up, but I hadn't eaten anything. I chalked it up to having bad gas and transitioning to solid #2 from the runny (I know...TMI)! -
I just had surgery on May 6th and mine was placed just under my left breast along the bra line. I have been wearing sports bras since the surgery. I tried wearing an under wire bra yesterday and it was rubbing on the big incision (where he put the port)....soooo I'm back to sport bras until the incision completely heals.

My surgery is tomorrow. I'm excited but nervous. My doctor seems confident that I will be out in 3 hours. We shall see.

Dr. Richard Carter - He's great.

Dr. Carter is also my doctor. I get banded on May 6th and I have my pre-operative appointment with him on 4/25. I'm hoping all goes well with this blood work and I can proceed with the surgery. -
I was told not liquid diet was required but that the doctor would suggest that I incorporate Protein shakes into my diet prior to the surgery. I meet with him on the 25th to go over the surgery.

Has anyone else been told they did not have to do a pre-operative diet? My doctor doesn't require it. Not that I'm complaining, I'm just trying to see if this is perhaps a new technique or procedure.

I am scheduled for May 6th. The approval process actually stunned me. My last supervised weight loss appointment was on February 18th I got an approval on Feb. 28th. I was given April 1st as the 1st possible surgery date, but unfortunately I could not get off work due to state testing at my school. The next possible date was May 6th. Since my birthday is at the end of May, I consider it a very swanky birthday gift to myself.
