Looking for 7/22/14 surgery buddy



Recommended Posts

<p>Hello, all! My surgery date is 7/22/14 in Grand Prairie, Texas, with Dr. David Kim. I was hoping to buddy up with someone with the same or close-to surgery date to share experiences with.</p>

Hi! My surgery is scheduled on the 22nd, too! I'm having it in Dallas with Dr. Nick Nicholson. Good luck! Let's try to keep in touch and support each other!

My surgery is July 23rd with Dr Ayoola at Forest Park in Dallas. I will buddy with y'all too if you'll have me! Nervous panic is starting to set in of everything I have to do before then!

Welcome to the journey, @@Jeannie0723 ! Will do, @@sandymom ! Thinking about you, @@Boise !

I'm so new to this site (and this type of social media) I'm not sure when someone is talking to me, or how to answer back. Any hints? Thanks! Oh, and I go in tomorrow morning at 5 for my sleeve! :-)

I wasn't too nervous for the longest time. In fact, I was pretty neutral. But over the last couple of days, I've been pretty nervous. I know things will turn out okay, but still. We're kinda in the passenger seat now!

@@sandymom -- Typically when someone wants to respond directly to you, they will "mention" you in their post--like I did. I just clicked on the '@Mention' link under your name and info on the left up above, and it inserts your screen name. In your post, it won't appear blue until after you've officially posted your response. And if all else fails, you can always send people private messages.

Good evening, everyone. This probably will be short because I'm typing this on my phone, and I'm not a big fan. Here's my update:

- surgery was around 7 this morning.

- started really coming around about 10:30 or 11

- had some very minimal chest pain from gas

- was incredibly dry mouthed and thirsty

- no nausea whatsoever

- have had no issue drinking Water, but Isopure drink caused serious dry mouth

- been walking and breathing without any problems

- pain blocker seems to be working

- no issues urinating (except it's a slow process)

- uncomfortable and even slightly painful on my left where the stomach was pulled through

Its pretty much been the complete opposite of what I expected. Tomorrow is a new day, though. I hope everyone else who had surgery today is doing well. Also thinking about @@Boise .

Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I just got home yesterday evening. I could not get my nausea under control. Now that I am home it's easier to get my fluids in. For today I've already had a full premier Protein bottle and about 26 oz of water/juice.

I am feeling ok as long as I stay ahead of the pain.

@@tfowler glad your surgery went well. How are you now?

Glad you are doing well @@Boise Sounds like you are doing good keeping your liquids down. I am one week away from being on the on the losing team and I am just now starting to get worried about the surgery. I am starting to think about what the complications could be and I sometimes question my decision to go through with it.

I love hearing about positive outcomes, because it just reassures me that the worry and doubts are all in my head. I know that in my heart, this is the best thing for me.

Keep up the good work and I hope to hear more from everyone about how they are doing!

@@Dulce_jtrivera it went a lot better than I anticipated as well. I started getting nervous and all before the surgery. I was in pain and nauseated when I woke but overall once I got all that under control I was ok. Once I got home it got better as far as intake.

Good luck

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
