I had a robotic lap surgery. I had to have everything taken' date=' right down to the lymph nodes due to my precancerous state. The problems I'm having isn't from the hysterectomy itself, but improper placement of the catheter. The tried to replace it 3 times to no avail :'-( so right now I am able to go off antibiotics for a week and then I get the pain in my bladder and a UTI. It is ridiculous. I have a cystoscopy set up for next Friday. The will have a looksy into my bladder to see what damage was done. Hopefully nothing major. If its permanent, lawsuit will be coming around.

Also, if you can postpone til after finals, that would be better. You will need 2-3 weeks and that is w the robot assisted laparoscopic surgery. You'll have the gassiness again, ugh. Plus for me it was heck of a lot more painful than the RNY. Probably due to complications.

Just tell them to make sure they place catheter properly. Good luck. I will have you in my thoughts!!!

Thank you. I already warned my teachers the following week I will be there but I will be drugged up and will only stay an hour not the whole 3. My gallbladder surgery was worst then my rny too so I am scared of this one. I had my gallbladder surgery in December and just as two weeks ago I am able to lay in my left side without the pulling feeling inside

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
