November surgeries?



Recommended Posts

I got the call from the surgical nurse today. I go for my full day appointment on october 24th. If all goes well at that appointment then I could be scheduled for surgery on November 4th. The day before my 40th birthday. I said when I began this journey that I wanted it done before I was 40 and now that just may happen. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I weigh 225 but what I am most excited about the surgery is a cure for my diabetes' date=' high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and reflux. I can't believe how wonderful it would be to wake up and not have to take a container full of medication. In my support group a lady with diabetes, taking 11 diabetes pills a day, left the hospital only taking 1 pill and that was only because of such an extreme family history of diabetes. Also, looking good in pants wont hurt! [/quote']

Wow Judy we are kindred spirits I weigh 228 and suffer from the exact same things and it's the reason I'm having the surgery as well. So not only are we having surgery the same day we have identical stories!!! That's awesome that we are going through identical journeys

I just got a call from my coordinator, he has been busy scheduling me for all my tests, cardiologist, kidney specialist, upper GI, lab work, chest X-ray, and pre-op nurse. I have never seen so many doctors or had so many tests in such a short period of time. At least I will know if I'm healthy or not. Then to top it all off, I have a slight cold I am trying so hard to get rid of. If that stops me, I will be so mad.

Are you having to go through a lot of testing like I am? Will be so glad when that part is done. Then I will know for sure it is real.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
