Prayers your way.

I'm doing great with gas. Walking really helps with that. And small spits of a bowel movement. I feel good other than the lump.

That's exactly what mine is. Large and hard and below it it's sunk in. So thankful that I'm not alone. Thanks so much. I'm calling tomorrow anyway but this makes me feel better.

No X-rays thought it was swelling. Still as large as day one. Just waiting on my post op appt. which will be next Monday.

Wow! Congrats!

The provider has you go to the "Begin" class. It explains all about what you eat prior to and after surgery in detail. Then the do a short health fitness. Then if your over 300 pounds like I was, you have to go to a pulmonary dr for approval. Also EKG ,X-ray, blood work, upper Gi, ultrasound. All of which I had in one appt. the thing is you can't do any of this until you have already been approved. But it's all worth it to have the best in the area.

Hey Tami my gurgery went great. Im 4 days post op. Still hurting some on left side. Bearable though. It took me about three months from the first pcp visit to surgery. Lots of requirements from provider and ins. It will be worth it.

He is the founder of that practice. His partner dr ringold is who did mine. You picked the best practice. Had it on Tuesday and he said it was textbook perfect. You will be very impressed. Good luck.

I'm so nervous. I know it's the right decision. I'm just afraid of pain and complications. Any pointers, advice ect. Do I need anything at the hosp? Good luck to all those whose surgery is this week. I will see y'all on the other side.

Thanks so much for all the well wishes and prayers. Greatly appreciate it. Had surgery yesterday. Dr said it was text book perfect. Out of it yesterday, just wanted to sleep. No eating or drinking surgery day. Started clear liquids today. Was able to walk a lot more. Going home tomorrow. Actually was not as bad as I thought. Thank God.

Thank you so much. Ok here I go.

Thanks so much. It's great to have friends who understand.

I'm having mine in Mobile. Dr. Ringold. Surgery is tomorrow.

Had to switch to clear liquid on day 8. I'm starving. Lol. But not citrate. Thank goodness.

Wow that is encouraging that you would feel like having sex that quickly after surgery. I'm so nervous. My surgery is Tuesday morning.

Hi guys, I'm right there with you. Today is day 9 of liquid diet. One more day to go. Surgery is Tuesday morning. I'm so nervous.

Prayers answered that your feeling better.

Prayers are your way!

I'm also on the pre-op full liquid diet. No veggies nothing. I'm on day 7 of 10. First 5 days were hard. I think it's getting easier thou. Start the clear liquid tomorrow. Surgery Tuesday. At the point where I'm crying easily and looking for reasons to canx it. But going to stick it out.

Wow!

Congratulations.

Let us know how you did. Prayers your way. Mine is next week Tuesday. So very nervous!

What is NSAIDs ans ng?

Had all my pre op testing today. Had to have an upper GI. Dr told me I have a hiatal hernia! Is this something that they would cancel my surgery for? Is this something he can repair with my surgery? I'm so ready for this and don't want a set back.

I'm so thankful for this forum. I have learned so much from this. Thanks to all.
