Tiffany has Surgery!



Recommended Posts

She is all dressed up and only one place to go!

TiffanyisMajor is just minutes away from her surgery! She has been calm and cool all day, the nerves are setting in a little now tho : )

We are at the Vida Hospital location. There was some remodeling still going on at the new facility. I had surgery at the "old" clinic in February. This place is large and very modern. Each room has its own bathroom, tv, phone, beds and recliner. The same staff are here and are very nice and supportive.

I will post after her surgery is over!

Surgery is over! She did great : )

She is back in her room and talking just a little.

It is interesting to see it from "the other side". It always seems that time goes by so quickly when you are sedated - and that was her first comment: It's over already??

I am staying at the hospital tonite with her. Tomorrow she will probably go to the recovery house.

I know she will appreciate the good wishes!

I too am glad that her surgery went well. She is fortunate to have a good friend to be with her.

Glad to hear Tiffany is doing so well. Please give her our well wishes. What a wonderful gift she received from you by accompanying her! Bless you. I see you are from Seattle. I lived there from 2005-2007 (actually lived in Issaquah and worked in Seattle). I miss the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. If it were not for grandchildren (the joy of my life) I would move back.

Have a safe journey home. Diane

I have been passing on your messages : )

We had a real conversation about an hour ago. She is in good spirits. Just had her first GasX strip - they are such a treat! LOL And the nurse brought her an ice pack. Her discomfort is about where the top incision sits.

I am hearing her describe everything I felt and said on my surgery day and afterwards. I wonder if we are all broken records??? : )

On a side note ~ today was a beautiful day in Tijuana. The sun was out and it was warm, but there was still a refreshing breeze in the air. Early this evening, it looked a little cloudy out there tho. At least we had one nice day!

I know she may feel worse before she feels better, but so far she is on the right track!

Hi DeeDee ~

I love the PNW! I have lived here most of my life - except for 6 years when my dad was stationed in Illinois and Bermuda while in the Air Force. I have traveled alot, have been to all but 2 continents, and still wouldn't live anywhere else full time. OK. Maybe Costa Rica, Barbados or Belgium. LOL

The grandkids are a big issue! We were blessed with our very first last fall and she is a precious little girl. My son is currently in flight school at Ft. Rucker so we have been missing her alot! They will be back in June.

I live south of Seattle and actually don't venture north too often. The traffic is just too crazy!

Thanks for saying hello : )

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
