Im so sorry your surgery didn't happen . I am still here as I'm an unable to pee n having a lot of pain' date=' and im running f fever 102.4...now,,,I will keep u in my prayers[/quote']

I had a really hard time peeing at first too. I didn't have a catheter and I would sit for at least 10-15 mins waiting for it to happen. It took a few days to actually be able to pee within a minute of sitting down. Hang in there Leilani!

Hi I need some help I had surgery on Monday and I've been doing good until today I woke up with more pain than usual around the 2nd incision on my left side. The staples look fine and there's no oozing but right above is a knot that is pretty tender!! I live 2hrs away frm the hospital should I get it checked or is this normal??

Jess, I think you should call your doctor. They will be able to tell you if it's normal or not, and whether it warrants you making a two-hour drive to the ER. Praying it's nothing unusual. Let us know what they say.

I called my doctors office and an oncall doc returned my call he said everything sounds ok I'm able to tolerate liquids and using the bathroom regularly so there's no cause for concern but if I develop a fever or vomiting to go in and get checked out.

My surgery was unsucessful...I was admitted at 8:30 am in the morning and ready for 9:30 am. The surgeon made 6 incision outside my stomach area and inserted the larpoc. equipment with air. Then they had to abort the srugery because my heart became weak and my heart rate was so low. My blood pressure went down to 70/40. They pulled the plug and the next thing I knew my surgeon was in the recovery room and told me that he almost lost me because of my heart and pressure. I was devastated and I started to cry. I don't understand why this happened to me? My Cardiologist told me that I was fit to do this surgery and he cleared me. After that they kept me in the hospital for evaluation. They ran some tests on me. They took many blood drawing' date=' a heart cat scan, and 2D echo. All came out negative. Even though the procedure wasn't done I was in pain and haven't eaten for 3 three days. Today they discharge me and I have mild gatric pain. The doctor said to me to schedule an appointment for Monday to discuss my condition and to reschdule my surgery. I'am so hurt and tramatized I don't know what to do now. I guess it was bad luck for me. I'm home know and I'm still crying. I can't believe I had a brush with death.[/quote']

Waiting to hear from you and Kerry. I was thinking about you and prayed for all of us. I know your surgery will be sucessful. I hope the next time around is sucessful for me too.

Hey girl! My surgery went well! I wet home yesterday (Friday) and I feel pretty good. I was joking with the nurses asking if I really did had surgery! But I feel fairly normal. So things went well in my end!

      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.
