December Surgeries!?!?!?

[Getting-used-to-new-me 119]

My pain's still there. But it's mostly incision and"gut" pain. Not gas pain. I can again recommend this RNY to all who need it. I hope my posting's haven't dissuaded any here from going through this. Please remember to do everything recommended by your medical staff. Especially the pain meds. Walk when they say. Lay on the pain side cause gas rises and moves through you better that way. At home, do what they told you to do. And a few days later, hopefully sooner than me, you'll feel like you can recommend this again too!

Welcome Sheila, my surgery is Wednesday. I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

My RNY surgery is also scheduled for Wednesday. I am pretty nervous. Mostly because my insurance has not given final approval - they say they will answer by Tuesday the 17th and my surgery is scheduled for the 18th. I just want it to happen.

My surgery is is Friday and my nerves have been on overdrive today. I'm looking forward to going to work tomorrow so I will be busy. I'm worrying about everything and trying to keep my kids from seeing how nervous I am. I'm just ready for it to be over and to get on with the weight loss:)

Hey all I had my surgery December 11th with no complications! I am doing really well but extremely sore on the right side instead of the left! I am adjusting and on the mend and feel better than I did yesterday! I hope everyone's surgery went well and you are all mending! Remember everyone's body is different and reacts different! Hope to hear from all of my dec buddies.

Greenize I had mine December 11 also. My pain has really passed the last couple of days. Now my only pain is upper left side below ribs. But all in all I feel great, hope all our December people feel great

My surgery is Friday the 20th. I am so scared/nervous/anxious times ten. I feel like run away bride.... what the hell did I get my self into? Lol. Too late to turn back now. Just hold my breath and hope for the best. I'm hoping it is not worse than child birth. I did that twice... like a champ. That I can do. This... not to sure about. Can anyone answer... which is more painful this or child birth?

It is a glorious feeling!! Holidays for those who have had thw surgery and those whom have yet to be. I am a week done and eventhough I had some issues..it was worth it! I am happy to have given myself anothwr life and look forward to being healthy. I was unfortunately having my surgery during a nurses strike. But I am.home and recovering. Was not expecting it this hard or really boring....

Okay, I can't speak for childbirth since I haven't had kids, but I would hope arthroscopic is easier! Lol!! I feel the same way about nerves if course, but am looking to get it over with and get onto losing! My surgery is Thursday. I too am questioning, but when I think back to some of the great things people on here have said, I know this is the right choice. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I don't want aching joints, tight clothes, high blood pressure and heart disease. I want more energy. I want to be physically and mentally strong. Ok, I also want a pizza, but I hope those cravings pass after surgery... You'll be great!!

Mkmb and others I was diabetic on five shots a day , blood pressure meds etc! So far I have not taken an insulin shot or blood pressure meds since surgery! That should be some encouragement for some of you! I wish you well!
