December Surgeries!?!?!?



Recommended Posts

Finally going home from the hospital. My surgery was yesterday and was successful. Still got some pain on my abdomen but the liquid pain meds are helping a lot. I wasn't able to keep anything down last night but did somewhat well for Breakfast, I hope it gets easier! Praying for y'all Dec surgeries and wishing you best of luck. Btw, I did the 2 day Protein liquid diet and last 10 pounds when they weighed me before surgery! Exciting!!!!

Had my pre-op appointment today which included checking in with the hospital, paying the rest of my expenses, and pre-admit testing including ekg, lung xray, blood work, and urine sample. 37 days smoke free! Diet starts in two days. Pardon my language, but s**t just got real!

Day 2 after surgery. I'll be in the hospital at least until tomorrow afternoon.

Things didn't go exactly as planned...they got 4 holes poles in me and decided because of my anatomy they had to revert to an open rny. I'm in a lot of pIn tonight from the muscles and all being cut, but I have no gas pains.

I was doing really well up until this evening but now the pain is crazy bad. They have upped feh delodid and Tylenol. I'm hoping tonight is the worse of it.

More later or tomorrow.

Hi. I am new to this but my date is Dec 17 after a 6 month program. I just started the 2 week pre-op Protein Shakes. It has been a tough day with that, my head is filling with doubts.

Things didn't go exactly as planned for me either. .. I was to have my gall bladder removed during my sleeve surgery but when they got in they couldn't get all the stones so they closed me back up after 2 hours and now I got to see another surgeon for the stone's. ...so I sit in uncertainty and in pain the pain I should be feeling from my sleeve but no its from my gall bladder

        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!

      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
