Testing, Testing, Testing!
FDclerical replied to mom2five's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
congrats! it feels good to finally get the tests done one by one! surgery will be here sooner than you know it. i read alot about these hernias. do they hurt???good luck to you. hope you get your surgery date soon.! -
bangin! congratulations!!!
-
Thank you soooooo much! !! I am home now soon happy. I was very low and depressed today regretting my decision but I feel so much better and happier more confident. I can't tolerate anything unless it is warm room temperature which is OK it is a crazy ride and I don't want to regret my decision. I guess the feeling of fluids going all the way down is so uncomfortable it was making me not want to drink. Feeling better nausea is pretty much gone and incision pain is very minimal Sent from my Samsung Admire using VST

Pain After Taking A Drink( New To Losers Bench)
FDclerical replied to steelergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
your surgeon or discharge nurse should have gone through how you would feel the next 2 weeks. that is a normal feeling only because we are still swollen down there and its a healing process. i am going through the same thing so i wouldnt worry. i notice that the warm liquids and room temperature are going down much smoother for me. are you really concerned? if so i would call your surgeons office there is always a nurse on call to help. good luck to you! i was sleeved on the 6th -

FDclerical replied to keri2142's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey guys thanks for all the updates! I'm finally going home today. My doc gave me nausea prescription and some other stuff to coat my belly. Warm liquids are my friend the cold Water or even room temperature definitely hurt. I'm excited to get home and rest. U can barely see my incisions they are sealed with glue. This surgery was no joke and I to am having wicked gas pain. I been walking but apparently not as much anyways good luck to all of us praying for great recovery Sent from my Samsung Admire using VST -

Hiiii. Yes it was my birthday and I am now 3 days post op at the hospital now. I am having very bad nausea and might stay an extra night. Gas pain is under control and I am walking a lot. Please prepare for the pain. I have no morphine pump. The medicine does work but this surgery is no joke. I feel happy and blessed no leaks or blood clots. Just trying to rest it up:) it is verrrrrry hard getting liquids in. I am stuffed honestly just from 3 sips of Chicken broth! !! Surgeon wants me drinking 5 bottles of liquid water and protein shakes. It will be a challenge but iI'm sure the more I heal the easier It will be. Sent from my Samsung Admire using VST

Surgery In Less Than 1 Hour. Cant Wait.!
FDclerical replied to FDclerical's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just a quick update guys they may be keeping me an extra night due to my extreme nausea. I've been getting medicine but they had to replace my IV location because it kept stopping. We got a huge storm out here but I am so ready to go home. Not in that much pain anymore my incisions are so small. I can still only take 3 sips of Water like every hour this is insane. Anyways talk to y'all soon pray they send me home and that my nausea gets better Sent from my Samsung Admire using VST -

Needing Advice Asap!
FDclerical replied to jwaller7577's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my insurance required 6 month NUT visits and to follow their meal plans which i did not as strict as ishould have. my pre op requirement is 10 days which ends tomorrow but i would def double check w;/ insurance and surgeons office as to how much they want you to lose because thats usually why they make you diet for so long. to show that you are committed to the lifestyle change and being able to change your eating habits. -
omg congratulations! i am happy for you! i hope my recovery and experience is as nice and smooth as yours! ahhhhhh

damn u look great! good job congrats. keeping me motivated!!!1
