TMI alert possible complication for surgery



Recommended Posts

Hey all, feeling really anxious... ive had my period more on than off for a month(I have an iud) so I figured the bleeding was that went to the gyn yesterday had an ultrasound(yuck) will get results in a couple of days... my surgery date is may 5. I know I really should have all this cleared up, I just want my surgery to happen.. I have been preparing for this forever. Someone told me if I didnt go and get this taken care of they would have discovered it in the pre op.

So please can people think happy thoughts or pray that this resolves itself before the surgery? Thanks

Hi, I haven't been on here long but wanted to say you're not alone. I am having similar issues & now my GYN wants to do a partial hysterectomy at the same time as the sleeve. My surgeon has reservations about doing it together. I can't even get a date yet because they are all arguing about how they want it done. I've been trying to go for this for TWO YEARS and now this. You are in my prayers. I hope it works out for you.

Well from experience if you are stressed out with an IUD it causes spotting and irregular bleeding. So relax If I stay on my feet to long or get really upset this happens so think Happy Thoughts!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
