Hello All. Surgery in 10 hours.



Recommended Posts

Well first let me say hello and thanks for all the great things I have read so far. My surgery is only 10 hours away and I am very excited. Lost almost 20lbs on the last two weeks of liquids (with the occasional cheat) and that has me feeling great. Got alot to lose but a huge support system around me so lets get this party started !!! My biggest fear/frustration is the next few weeks of more liquids but all in the name of a better me I say. Got 3 beautiful kids that need daddy to get healthy and help them grow and a wife who is my entire world who deserves more than I could ever give her. Figure a healthy husband is a good start. Well anyway thanks for reading all this and heres to a physical rebirth. Lets ride !!!!!!!!:Dancing_biggrin:

Good Luck ! I jut had my surgery yesterday. I am a little sore as expected. Feels like i did a whole bunch of crunches LOL. Its tender to roll over in bed and coughing, sneezing and hick ups are not your friend. Be gentle when doing these things. grab a pillow and hug it to relieve some of the stress from coughing. Good luck..my proceedure took about an hr. Congrats on starting a new healthier life style!

Good luck to both of you. Doing this for yourself is your first priority. You are doing the right thing. I'm doing great as I have lost 40 lbs since march 16. As for the pain, in about 5 days, you will hardly notice you had surgery. You will however need to follow the rules of eating and drinking. These are very important.

Congrats to both of you. You're going to love the results!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
