My Surgery is Tomorrow and I need some Help!!!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at Cedar Sinai and I am so scared I still want to know what to expect. Ive had 3 c-sections and a Tummy Tuck but I have never been this afraid. I would like some encouragement if went through the same thing. Also I would like to know what to expect tomorrow??

I haven't had a C-section or Tummy Tuck but I do have the lap band and I think you will be just fine. It's perfectly normal to be nervous but my guess is that you will find this surgery much easier to bounce back from than your others. Good luck.

I was banded at Cedar's in 09. Who is your dr? I had a c section in 07. Why does that worry you? Cedars prepares you very well with you binder and pre class. The staff is extremely nice, you'll be fine! I think my surgery was about an hr, then in recovery for a few hrs, then I went to my private room for the night. I wasn't allowed anything to drink until I got to my room. I woke up starving and thirsty! I was discharged about 4 or 5 the day after being banded. Good luck

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
