Any September surgeries out there



Recommended Posts

I has to do a sleep study and said I needed a C-pap machine and they want at least 10 days of use before they will sign off on the surgery- really sucks!

That was the same thing I had been on Cpap since 8/23 now my surgery scheduled for the 23rd so ready

I'm in pre op! Got my iv, antibiotics, heparin shot, and nausea med. Now I'm just waiting on the surgery. It got pushed back to 10am est, so I got about 75 minutes. And the countdown begins!

5 days till surgery. Have already lost 21 pounds but I want to cheat so bad today. All I want is meat, like meat loaf or breaded chicken. Haven't cheated yet and I am committed but its getting hard as I have been on this liquid diet for 9 days already (doc gave me 2 weeks).

Hey sugery buddy!. I know what you mean about pre op. I've lost 11. I have found, stuff like sugar free popsicles really help. You can do it. Did they give you a time for when you are going in? They won't tell me till Friday...:(

Wow 21 pounds, you got to love that! Keep your eye on the prize the next 5 days will fly by. Just keep yourself busy, and if you have a family to cook for it helps if you cook things that you don't like that much. I love Mexican food and we usually have some kind of Mexican dish each week. I refused to make it while I was on my pre-op.

How is everyone else doing that had surgery today? This has been the strangest surgery I've ever had. I was in a lot of pain when I first woke up, but they finally got it under control. For me, it wasn't painful at the incision site, but where they did the cutting inside. It's now about 12 hrs later and I gotta say that this is the least painful surgery I've had. Definitely not as bad as gallbladder or csections. Just wanted to share. Good luck everyone!

Glad to hear your not having much pain. I felt it was a walk in the park compared to having two c-sections. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Ya. 10:30 but my surgeons office called today and left a message to call them back. Didn't get it till late so I am worried the docs have to change my date. Im sure its just to check in with me.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
