May surgeries!

[Kurstin 72]

I hope I feel this way after my surgery. I'm having serious panic issues right now. I think I'm more terrified about having the surgery then afterwards. I've never had any procedure that put me under like this. Just trying to keep busy.......keep us posted when you get home

I was released today from the hospital. They just checked all 7 of my incisions and took out my drainage tube' date=' which felt really weird coming out! She told me right now Water is more important than Protein until I can get them both going. So I've been sip sip sipping all day. I suggest bringing crystal light packets, it will definitely make all the water easier to choke down. I left the hospital weighing 7lbs more than when I went in because of all of the air they put in. My surgeon also gave me pics of my new stomach inside and they did find a hernia which she repaired while she was in there also.

8 days to go and no it seems all too real. I went shopping today to make sure I had all the Vitamins and other stuff I need......I heard someone say that these wls are cheating......I had to kindly yet very firmly know that this is not cheating but very hard work indeed........shame on them for thinking this was an easy journey

Met with my surgeon again today. Hoping to released sometime this evening. It feels so surreal after the surgery is done. That's all I have been thinking about. Thinking' date=' wow, I can't believe I've actually done this and I WON'T BE FAT FOREVER! Such a cool feeling because now it's reality there's no more questions about the surgery getting done for some dumb reasons. I can't wait for all of you! And thanks for all the support and prayers! This is the! best birthday present to myself ever![/quote']

I hear you on the birthday present thing. I had my endoscopy last monday, on my birthday. I wished I could have been having my surgery already, but it was a step in that direction & in that way, it was a great way to spend my day! I can't wait to be where you are! Congratulations!!!

Hi guys just wanted to post update. I have been taken off the operation list for Monday 6 May my bloods were apparently not encouraging and surgeon wants me to resolve the elevated liver enzymes before the roux en y. Not quite sure what to make of this second postponement. I'm praying that my liver is ok and bloods improve. I suppose being cautious is prudent. I thought the gall bladder was the problem but there seems to be a concern that in case it's not i may not be healthy enough to proceed with the wls. I wish everyone the best if I'm cleared for surgery I think I'll post operation instead of raising my hopes up. But I'll continue learning from all of you and trying to loose on the Protein diet. All the best to upcoming surgeries.

Sorry about your postponement of the surgery. Prayers your way for a good healthy outcome. You can always come and chat. Make sure you give us an update on your health and I hope and pray you can continue your wls journey soon. Good luck & God bless.

[misty f 4]
