And I have a raging headache cuz today I was giving up soda. NOT NOW!!!!!!! September.. hahahahahah SOMEDAY I will be on the losers bench.

I'm a September Sleever as well....Sept 10 - sure hope that the weather here in Texas will be cooler as i'm recovering so I can actually take walks outside.... I'm having surgery at Presby Plano - where is your surgery at?

[fattymcfatterson 107]

Plano for me too! Long drive from Granbury but my understanding is the davinci really helps with recovery time. You will have to let me know what to expect!! This has been an adventure for me since FEBRUARY!!!!

I'm having my VSG at Presby Plano too on 8/21. I had my Davinci hysterectomy there last July! (And a tonsillectomy the year before.) I joke that I keep losing body parts to them every summer!

Hey Super,

How was your recovery for your hyster? Woh did your hyster and who is your wls surgeon? Do you think it really made a difference using the davinci? That is part of the reason my date got pushed. It's the first date both surgeons, the O.R. and the davinci are available. Hoping the davinci is worth the wait!! hahaha or weight, since the food funeral will now continue a few extra weeks.

fattymcfatterson,

I see that Dr. Cribbins is going to be your VSG surgeon and that Dr. Heffernan will be doing your hysterectomy. I had/am having their partners Dr. Hamn and Dr. Munoz. LOL

My recovery from my hysterectomy went pretty smoothly and comparing it to others (a friend had a hysterectomy the same month) I think that the DaVinci made a difference. About a week after surgery, I went over and hung out with friends and they were amazed at how great that I was doing. That said, don't overdue it too soon b/c you'll set yourself back. Like I started trying to do a lot of cleaning/laundry and things in the 2nd week and then I felt like I did on Day #2 or 3. I also definitely would get drained energy-wise so much more easily after hysterectomy and that probably lasted for a month or more (getting progressively better).

Good luck with your surgeries! I think that's it's great that you're getting them over with at the same time!

Congratulations on you Sept. 28 date. Mine is Sept. 14 in Trophy Club. And yes I'm also hoping the heat lets up some in Texas!

[Kalimomof3 613]

Exciting! I can't wait till my turn but it won't be till mid Oct early Nov... I guess the positive is that it will probably cool down by then. I am in San Antonio:)

Drs. Munoz and Heffernan are both first rate. Munoz performed a cutting edge hysterectomy plus heated interpereteneal chemotherapy on my Mom 3.5 years ago and literally saved her life. Heffernan assisted. Couldn't find another surgeon in Dallas at that time who was doing it. Can't possibly say enough good things about them both!
