Surgery Tomorrow - Have a Question



Recommended Posts

Good morning everyone,

I am super nervous as I anticipated I would be with questions like what am I doing? Why did I decide this? An implant in me forever! Then the other side is calmer with - you got this! This will be the best decision ever! And I'm bringing my sexy back!

So with all these emotions I have had headaches over the weekend. I took some BC powder yesterday and reread my checklist of pre and post op instructions and I messed up by taking the BC. I should not have taken anything like that 5 days prior. I will certainly tell the surgeon tomorrow and just wondering how much that would screw things up. Thanks for any input, I appreciate this forum!

I have my surgery tomorrow too (sleeve) and I am a nervous wreck!! I can't wait to finally be able to lose the weight, but at the same time any surgery can be a scary thing. I think I am more nervous about the after surgery recovery. I have heard it from all spectrum. People who haven't had any problems and others with pretty bad pain. I have been on my pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks, been preparing for this since January. Now that it is here, I am a mess!! :( We got this!! We are finally getting a new healthier self! I am not sure about your med situation. I would just call your doctor and ask them.

Hope everything works out ok, Congrats on your surgery and decision, and Good luck!! Hope you have an amazing, comfortable recovery!!!

Nsaids thin your blood but I doubt one would have any affect.

Personally I would call your doctor just to make sure, but I do not think it will bother anything. Good luck with your new journey!

I feel your pain or stress as it may be. I am also scheduled for tomorrow and have been questioning everything I have done so far. I cried twice today because I am afraid I forgot something. It doesn't help that my daughter, 10 yeas old, broke her wrist on Sunday and we spent the day trying to get her into an orthopedist because I know I will be out of commission for a little bit. She us such a trooper! I have to try and model myself on her. Together we will get through this. Good luck to everyone! Will keep good thoughts for all of you!

Best wishes all of you -- I was so excited and nervous as all get-out. Honestly, I can't even really recall those early days. I took my sense of humor with me to the hospital. I had never been an overnight patient and I'm 52. It was all so much better than I thought. And I was getting what I wanted -- a choice for myself and my healthy future. To this day, I am thrilled. Life reclaimed. You are all on your way -- good luck! It will be better than fine!

      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.
