5/29 Surgery... Oh Yeah, That's Tomorrow!!!!



Recommended Posts

Well I am packed and ready. Having another popsicle before bed. I am not nervous, but waiting for it to hit me. Please say an extra prayer for me and my fellow surgery buddies tomorrow! Hope the others that are going in tomorrow have a very easy, complication free procedure. Can't wait to hear from you all! Good Luck!

I'm right with you, bama. I'm mostly packed, about to go to bed (I'm starving!) I'm getting picked up at 5am to go to the hospital. So, I'm getting up at 4 to do the special surgical cleanser, etc. Bama- we can do it! Post to let us know how it goes.

Came through with flying colors ! Doc even took some photos and gave me of my band... Very cool!

I have been nauseated all day. Have a patch, zofran and phenigran, feeling much better. Think it was from anesthesia it really kicks my butt!

Slept most of the day and sore tonight but only when I move... LOL!

Hope tan and everyone did great... So sleepy right now...dozing off now. Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes !,

Congrats KAH!! Just got up on my own to walk.. This is my second time. They ate just telling me rest, giving meds but walk if you want. Pain was bad for me at first due to a hiatal hernia but much better now. I'm sleepy too.. Think I've slept almost non stop since surgery. Drank some broth, crystal light and Water so far. They are going down well... HBU?

So happy we are through this part! It should be a little easier from here.. I hope!

      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.
