Anybody in here sceduled for surgery this MONTH?
ShaRocSha replied to perfectlyflawed14's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My process was pretty fast. My surgery was scheduled for 1130am on 4/17 and I arrived by 9am to start the processing. Once I arrived I was taken to a lab tech room where I was asked what procedure I was having and needed to verify my name and birthday. Once I got through with questions, I was told to take all my clothing off and put on a hospital gown with white compression stockings. Afterwards a nurse asked me to pee in a cup to validate not being pregnant for the anesthesia doc. Once that was cleared I was then threaded for an IV. My doctor and nurse came in to answer any last questions. After they left I was escorted to the operating table (yes I had to walk lol). Once I made it to my room I was given some soothing medicine through my IV. The surgery assistant placed an oxygen masked over my nose where I then fell off to a deep sleep. I awoke in the recovery room soar and out of it. I asked for something for the pain. I was taken to my personal room fot further maintenance. The surgery as a result was very successful and fast. My team of nurses made me very comfortable and answered all my questions. That same night I was walking with one of the nurses in order to ensure the best recovery. The next day I went to an xray room and had to drink a clear fluid to determine if there were any leaks in my sleeve. Upon passing this test I was brought broth and jello for breakfast. A few hours went by and the catheter which was placed while under was finally removed. I had to void or use the restroom on my own before I would be discharged. It took me a while to use the bathroom but as soon as I did... I was discharge! Hope this helps! -

My surgeon was pretty strict with my 14 day liquid diet. I can only do protein shakes, water, broth, jello, SF pops, and more water haha... This has been trying but I am determined! -

Yes... I too have been struggling. I started my Pre-op diet on April 3rd and surgery is set for April 17th. I keep thinking if I break my discipline it's a sign that I am not ready mentally for this procedure... I guess that is my way of getting through this difficult time. This is it! We can do this!!!! -
