surgery tomorow 6/22/10



Recommended Posts

Well is there any last minute advise. I am having my surgery tomorow. My husband ask how much I have lost on the liquid diet? I said 7 lbs. He said well all you have to do is stay on their diet then......... I don't think he really understands the whole gaining and losing thing. So what this is for me.

I have my Vitamins, my gas x strips, and Clear Liquids is there anything else I need?

Just prayers! You will do just fine. The surgery went so quick for me, and the pain from the actual surgery was NOTHING. I have had a couple of surgery's including a c-section and a hysterectomy and they hurt, but this one was NOTHING! I was up and going right away!!! You will do great!

Congratulations!! Am sending you best wishes for tomorrow. If you haven't taken your measurements and before photos yet, be sure to do that today. You will definitely want them later.

Also, if you have a heating pad, you may want that for the shoulder pain after surgery. I didn't have one, but someone mentioned it on here and I thought it would have been nice to have one. Pack lip balm in your hospital bag.

You have a wonderful year (and beyond) in store for you. Get ready to finally feel good about your weight, and to feel heathier than you have felt in years. :thumbup:

Best wishes,

Catherine

      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.
