toogie17

I have been home since the 17th and have been having a really hard time. I had lap band removal, hernia repair and gastric bypass along with that I had alot of adhesions to work through. My pain level has gotten under control but I have been very weak with nausua and lots of sweating. I called the Drs office and they said that it was the beginning of dehydration and called in zofran and told me to step up the water. It has helped some...I have a follow-up appt tomorrow and hopefully things with get better.

Surgery is today!! Excited, nervous but not scared like I have been for the past week. I am last on the schedule but of course they want me there by 7:30 am ... oh and I was told to bring a book . Everyone take care and send prayers my way! I will be back on the other side of this journey in a few days.

I was sitting in my surgeons office yesterday doing the usual preop stuff and just couldn't believe what I am in the process of doing....I got scared to death! I am a lapband revision scheduled for the 15th. I feel as if I failed the first time so why not this time! The self doubt is messing with me. I know that I can't do this without a tool but the fear still is there of failure...please send me positive thoughts as my surgery date draws closer!

Hi!! I am scheduled for October 15th also! I am very excited and scared at the same time.

I got my surgery date!! October 15th!! Can't wait...I am so excited to begin this new chapter in my life. I am a revision from a lap band which I had on October 13, 2009....just over 4 years to the day. I will have the lap band removed and the bypass done on the same day.
