Surgery Scheduled 11/17/14...Any last minute tips?
ksdrn12 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am just a few days from surgery. I have my final appointment with the Dr in the morning. Barring any unforseen circumstances I will be having surgery Monday morning at 11:30. I am trying not to freak out, but that is easier said than done. Any last minute tips/stories that will help with the nerves? -

Just wondering how everyone is doing post surgical. So far, so good here. I will admit, getting my fluids in has been a struggle since it is sort of uncomfortable to drink (possibly because of the hiatal hernia repair) but I am trying with all of my might. I am getting my vitamins and proteins, so that is a huge plus! How is everyone else doing? -

Ok the drains coming out and the abdominal binder made a huge difference! Going home in a few. -

I must be a pansy, because the gas pains suck for me. It's day 3 and my shoulders are still in agony. On the bright side I have been up walking, my drains come out today, and I should get to leave later in the evening. Yay! I'm sure I'll feel better when I'm in my own environment. -

The nausea is bad, but I'm alive and it's only temporary so I'm ok. Can't wait to be past this and start feeling better though. -

Same here. The horrific snow storm isn't helping things. I already live an hour and 20 minutes from the hospital, and they're saying the roads are awful. I guess it's good that I'm not scheduled till 11:30 and it's mostly highway. Good luck today. See you on the flip side -

I never leave home without chapstick because I am an addict, but I added the slippers to my list. Thanks. -

@@Nicole Cloud I do have plenty of shakes. I didn't think about the popsicles, but I will be sure to get some Saturday after work. Thanks for the tip -

@@taniaceli Mine is at 11:30 on Monday. I am glad to know I am not the only one who is scared. My husband is being a champ listening to me worry I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers on Monday morning. Hope all goes well for you. PS My actual name is Kimberly. I haven't quite figured out how to display something other than the screen name.
