February Surgeries



Recommended Posts

I met with my doc and had the info session last week. We scheduled my appointment with the surgeon for Feb 4th. I will finish my required 3 month diet and behavior modification program the end of January. After the appointment on the 4th they willsubmit for insurance and I hope to be under the knife on Feb. 20th. Can't wait

hello rea,it sounds like and looks like you did a good job of keeping up your diet and behavior modification program.The joy I have for you is that you stuck to it and you lost the weight without the surgery.I wish I could had met and talked to you to encouraged you to continue your eating plan to keep losing the weight because the answer really isnt surgery is it? its about life style changes in eating and thinkiing habits.I hope you succeed in your goals.

Hello all I am about 13 hours post op. Everything went well and surgery went smooth. I have slept almost all day due to the pain meds.

I have gotten up and walked 2 times already. The pain isn't as bad as I thought it would be just my back hurts from laying down during surgery for 2 hours.

I'm on ice chips still and I will begin my Clear Liquids once I get my upper GI first thing in the morning.

My nurses are fantastic and my nurse I had all day had gastric bypass 9 years ago. She weighed 370lbs and age looks fantastic!!!

Thought I would finally check in I hope everyone is doing good who had surgery done today. I will hopefully get out of here by Friday!

  • Cookiesgotthis, so sorry about the delay. Super cool about the robotics though!
  • zomgjj, welcome to other side. Sounds like you are doing fantastic!

Wondering how our other surgeries went today? Hope we get updates soon.

GL to all you going later this week or next (or next). It will be here before you know it.

I have my post op tomorrow which will be day 10. I'm super excited as I get my drain out. The only thing still really bothering me.

They told me it is much more precise less chance of leakage and less wear on Surgeon, newer technology many hospital are introducing. My niece had a robot assisted Hysterectomy and did fine. But my Dr is starting to offer them. I had a choice.

My surgery (RNY) is tomorrow morning. Less than 24 hours until my new life starts. Nervous and excited at the same time. Happy thoughts would be appreciated :)

      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.
