October Surgery Dates

[r4snd 25]

Thanks for understanding. I put my patient hat on and I will just hope the phone rings soon. I wanted to have surgery before the end of the year. Let's just pray that happens. So happy for all of you that have done well. Save me a seat on the loser bench.

Try an talk with your spouse. This is a life changing experiance an emotional time for them as well. I know once I decided to do my surgery an actually started the process I started accussing my husband of not being atracted to me now an blah blah emotional break down I guess an once I started including him in everything I felt an my fears an goals an everything he became much more supportive an closer to me. I think they just get scared too, they don't know how to act or what to say.

Hi everybody!!! My surgery went good today!!! They did the RNY and repaired my Hiatal Hernia. When I first woke up from surgery I was in a lot of pain but they immediately start giving me more pain medicine and was also hooked up to a pain pump. The pain got tolerable after that. The pain is mainly on my left side. My stomach muscles are so sore. But I can actually say it's all tolerable and not as bad as I thought. The worst part so far was when I first woke up and for about an hour after that. My mouth has been SOOOO dry!!! They let me have some ice chips and I also use a wet wash cloth to help. I haven't gone for a walk yet but I have been sitting on the edge of the bed and standing up a little bit. Rolling in bed was really tough. I hope all my surgery buddies are doing good too!!!!

Hey Kmarie glad everything went well. I understand how you feel about the the mouth being so dry. I've read on here that most people got a pain pump when they first came out of recovery, but I was so disappointed because I never got one. I had to keep calling for pain meds. That part was horrible. I've also read that people have had bad pain on the left side, but mine was worst on the right side, but my doctor said it was because she had to cut deeper into my stomach muscle on the right side.

Anyway how are doing now? Hope all is well.

Ive asked this question once already would like a answer did anyone on the 2 week liquid diet cheat at all and everything was ok?

I had about two small bites of a roll and some rice, and ate a little more of salmon and tilapia than I was suppose to. I just made sure it was grilled with I can't believe it's not butter. My surgeon said my liver looked great.

Remember this with cheating, don't do super bad things because my nurse said that the doctor can tell when they open you up and that they can decide to close you up and do the surgery later, so please be careful. The lady who was before me ate a salad on the day before surgery and the doctor was contemplating calling her surgery off cause it may not be safe. In the end she did the surgery but I was so nervous for that lady.
