OMG Got A DatE! HELP ME

[determined1 3]

FINALLY, got a date scheduled for the VSG SEPTEMBER 17. I just had surgery total open hysterectomy June 30 (due to severe endometriosis stage 7) two nights in the hospital.

This gives me about 90 days apart, my gyn and wls docs know this and both agreed it would be okay. Its pretty hard to think about another surgery right now cuz I'm still very sore, BUT this one I'm so excited and waited so long for.

Please anyone, give me advice, what items to get ready, how much pain I'll be in.. I've researched and now seems all my info I had in my brain just ran out! lol thanks in advance

I wish I had my WLS after my total hysterectomy (stage 7 as well), it would have helped with the 60 lbs I've gained....lol Anyway I did have a thyoidectomy four weeks after my hysterectomy all I can say is move very slowing and suround yourself with many good friends and family you will truly need their help. Also make sure you can get the pain meds that work for you the best in a liquid.

Good Luck :thumbup1:

I'm do happy for you, I made lists of the dietary guidlines my surgeon wanted me to follow and made a gro list according to that. you need Clear Liquids (propel,fruit2o,Special K Protein Water, broth or Soups strained) I went ahead and bought Crystal Light SF popsicles and SF Jello, pudding and Gasx strips. I could drive 4 days post op so just stuff for the first week. Good Luck!!
