Painful Gassy Feeling :(
Old2NewMe replied to moniwood28's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found some at Walgreens. I'm not sure if it will help but I'm bringing them to the hospital anyway. -
Does everyone have to do the liquid phase for two weeks after surgery or is it only one week for some people?

Pulmonary Embolism After Surgery
Old2NewMe replied to Parrot's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So glad you went to the ER! What a scare. My doc preordered some shot for me to do at home for a few days after surgery. I shoot it in my stomach to help prevent blood clots based on my bmi and sleep apnea. Have to pick up from pharmacy today. Surgery is Tuesday -
Denied for surgery?
Old2NewMe replied to j.sierra05@yahoo.com's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had asked this question during my processes because I had to see my nutritionist for 7 months based on my insurance. The surgeon is very familiar with me insurance and told me they would not deny me at all as long as I did what I was supposed to. I'd suggest asking your doc, they will def know based on your ins. -
Liquid phase postop
Old2NewMe replied to Old2NewMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay... so everyone is diff. I'm two weeks on full liquids and then the third is the purée stage. -
I just got weighed at my last pre-op Appt. I'm down 10 pounds since I started this diet last Thursday. I still have 5 days left on this diet until my surgery. Is 10 pounds good? I feel it's good but not sure. How much have you lost on yours?

Losing Weight on PreOp Diet
Old2NewMe replied to Old2NewMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My nurse we could bring pj's as long as they have at least a drawstring. Man... I didn't really think about a robe. I hope I'll be able to put a bra and undies on after surgery... which makes me think about all the new clothes we'll have to buy! ; ) -

Yes I know. I hate hospital gowns. Never have felt comfortable. Having my own pj's always makes me feel a bit better : ) -
Losing Weight on PreOp Diet
Old2NewMe replied to Old2NewMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've got a laundry list to do also... literally lol. I've also began cleaning. I need to pack. I found myself in a store for an hour and a half yesterday searching for cute pajamas. First, I had drawstring pant pajamas and couldn't find a cute shirt (then I thought about how crazy I am for trying to look cute for one or two days in the hospital lol) so I picked up a plain shirt and walked to the check out and realized I may want a gown so I don't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable with the pants, put it all back and was in search for a nightgown that didn't look like it was for an 80 year old lol. It was a crazy day. Anyway what I couldn't find were gas x strips everyone keeps suggesting we buy. I can find capsules and chewables... -

Just want these next two days to zip by -
lol it's funny that we have to look up things before we get there but it's a smart thing to do! You'll feel light as a feather : )

I was dreading having to start this preop diet (which for me is just shakes, sf popsicles, and broth). Been on it for 9 days... now I'm dreading having to get off my shakes for the clear liquids on Sunday! LOL smh

A lot of distractions going on around me
Old2NewMe replied to BgR72's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just realized that I must have clicked on the wrong section earlier. But it must have been for good reason : ) I am getting the sleeve so I am always in that forum. I'm having quite a bit of head hunger at the moment but it's not as bad as it was the first 4 days. I felt weak and emotionally drained. I'm just now starting to feel like myself. Yes... we are almost there!!!!! Are you nervous? Excited? -

Joy cometh in the morning! Try to put your "blockers" on until next week. This will be life changing. You have come this far, so it's inevitable that you will continue to reach your goal. I have mine next week also. Tuesday. What day is yours? -

If my cycle starts while in the hospital can I wear a tampon? I'm hoping it won't for a few days after I'm home but even then is it okay to wear?
