Well Surgery Didn't Happen Today.



Recommended Posts

Well I am back home. The surgeon didn't feel comfortable doing the surgery today because my blood sugar was high. I know he is being cautious and a good doctor but I sure am disappointed. It is rescheduled for Dec.5 and I am supposed to somehow get my blood sugars down. So another round of reg diet then two weeks pre op diet and a lot more insulin. Trying to tell myself things happen for a reason and God is in control. At least I got a valium out of the deal and and IV in and out . And a mega dose of tylenol IV. even had my legs pumped for a while. We will just call this a practice run

It was 275 today and my ai c last wednesday was 9 so it was a combination of both. I told them I hadn't taken any insulin since monday because of being on Clear Liquids yesterday, but he just felt like healing or having a leak could be a big problem with the numbers that high for a while. SO I have a month to get them under better control. Which is sooo sooo hard. My sugar can go up on Air.

I'm sorry that surgery didn't happen. But dec 5 th will be around the corner. Then you will be sitting in the bench with me whoop whoop. Dr just being cautious that means he's a good doctor and really cares about his patient s he has

thank you everybody, I am doing ok. I am thinking about having a few last meals this time. I had been being so good for so long, really since May and lost 24 pounds, But I just might have to have a couple of favorites I didn't think I would get for a long long time. I won't go crazy.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
