Anyone else with sleep apnea just exhausted?
Melissa1234 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't tolerate my cpap and I am exhausted. Like all day long crushing exhaustion. It's terrible. It's making my life miserable. Just needed to vent, it's getting me down today. I'm so hoping my surgery in 6 weeks will help fix this so I can start living again. Anyone have the same problem? -

Melissa1234 replied to Melissa1234's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's interesting. They said just to bring my mask to the hospital so I don't think they'll be checking for compliance. They did say they'd like me to wear it for at least 2 weeks beforehand. I will try my best. Will be on all clears liquid diet at the same time so no sleep plus no food = scary Melissa lol. -

Thanks for the info! I have an auto cpap. I'm thinking I need to keep trying the machine as much as I hate it. I will have to wear it for surgery so I should try to get used to it somewhat. I'm sorry you have apnea too, it's no fun. -

5 days clear liquids only in lieu of bowel prep?
Melissa1234 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Anyone ever heard of this? They didn't say anything about shrinking the liver, just that it's instead of a bowel prep. And when I say clear liquids I mean that's it, no protein shakes or anything. How will I manage this without starving to death!?! Most people can at least have a shake. Im assuming they just want to flush out your system. Do you think this is better than a bowel prep? I really want to do good and follow the drs orders. This just seems really tough. Anyone ever heard of the clear only preop diet? -

Melissa1234 replied to MzO's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So sorry about the death of your husband. You are strong and will do great in a few days. Good luck and keep us posted on how u are doing. -
I think it's like an abundance of sticky saliva and foam. Supposedly not a fun experience. maybe a post oper will chime in and let us know for sure.

Any October sleevers?
Melissa1234 replied to beachgirlaz52's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sorry they are messing with your meds. I assume it has something to do with the surgery? I am on abilify and lamictal and clonazepam. I hope whatever they switch you to works well for you. If not you get up their behinds about getting it right -
Back in the hospital...
