Surgery Tomorrow @ 1:30pm PST



Recommended Posts

I have been all over this sight and i'm so happy that I found this forum in particular. I'm thankful to find this sight. I ask for prayer that I go through my surgery without in problems or mishaps and that the Lord be with my surgeon and the assistant surgeon and everyone who is involved with my procedure tomorrow both pre, during and post. I also pray that everyone having surgery that day is protected by the Blood of the Lamb. I know the word tells me that God has not given the spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind.

Any care that I have I will cast upon the Lord for His word says that he cares for me! Amen

Keep me and all having surgery tomorrow in your prayers!

I living in Willoughby, Ohio its 30 miles east of Cleveland. I had my surgery at University Hospital in Cleveland by Doctor Alan Saber.

I took off work 4 weeks but was back to work in 3 weeks. While in the hospital make sure you walk as much as you can. It will help on the recovery end.

The first week is going to be rough, I'm not going to sugar coat it. Your on a liquid diet. your energy will feel low at this point. But once this week is up you'll feel alot better.

I take B-12 500mg once a day, chewable multi Vitamins 2 times a day, chewable caluim 3 times a day... a lot of Water, 8 cups of 8 oz.

The protien shakes got very old for me. and made me sick. Now I can eat chicken and fish. still no red meats makes my stomache hurt. Your not going to be able to eat and drink at the same time. you can drink 15 minutes before or 30 or more minutes after. If you try to rush it. It will give bad pains...

I am now 53 days Post surgery and have lost 65 lbs...I work out 4-5 days a week. I have alot more energy. sleep better,sleep apnea is gone, Blood pressure is normal, asthma is gone.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Dominic

And all God's people said AMEN.

Keep believing because "faith is the assurance of things hoped for; the conviction of things unseen." We know in whom we believe; that He is able to do beyond what we can think or imagine. (and I'm imagining a successful surgery, miraculous recovery and complete restoration to perfect health!)

And, don't forget, the prayers of the righteous availeth much. So, pray without ceasing!

      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.
