March Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!! I had my surgery yesterday at about 8:30 am... Everything went wonderful!! I was so surprised that I wasn't scared or nervous!! I have hardly any pain, it's amazing. I haven't walked around today yet, but yesterday I walked around 3 different time 5 laps each. No problems except for some nausea while walking. I've had a headache since yesterday morning that won't go away!! They said its probably from lack of caffeine. They are starting me on some Clear Liquids today, hopefully that will go well.. Fingers crossed :)

I just spoke to Hospital registration' date=' I have to be there are 9:45A in the morning. YIPPIE! I'm so excited. My challenge right now is I have to have clear liquids all day today until midnight. I have a headache and my stomach is growling and the veggie broth I have is disgusting. Other than that Yippie!!! :)[/quote']

Good luck today :)

The day is finally here I have this warm fuzzy feeling and I can't wait to be on the losing side. I'm praying for all the other marchers going in today. I'm praying for our surgeons and nurses to be on their games today and bring us all out with as less pain as possible.

I appreciate all the well wishes! See you all on the other side!! ;)

Had my surgery yesterday. I had four incisions and two of the hurt really, really bad. The morphine hasn't touched it. I got very nauseated when I got up to walk for the first time yesterday. I made it 100 feet the first time to get the catheter out. I walked two more times - 350 and 700 feet. I am on clear liquids today. One oz every 15 minutes. It goes by FAST! I had an Iron infusion last night and will have two more today. Should go home tomorrow around noon.

Yes that's the one.

WOW, fentanyl Patches are very strong, I am so surprised they put you on that. It seems like an awful lot of medication. Healing prayers sent your way!!

Intravenous Iron. My body does not absorb iron and I am very, very low.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
