October Surgery Date

[Glyndalin 80]

That's disappointing. Hang in there.

No it isn't it has been changed to between the 1st or the 8th November. He was going to op on a weekend but found no one trained in bariatric operation care works on weekends. So have to find a day during the week. We're told 3 others are waiting too.

@naynay31. Where are you having surgery? I'm at Fair Oaks. Hope all is well!

I'm home. Yay!! Very sore. I hate the drain. Only small amount of gas pain though. I have a heating pad on my back and an ice pack on my belly. Not hungry at all

So hard to drink anything. Oh and I started coughing this afternoon. Hurt SO bad. Then I was afraid I was getting sick. But the nurse said its just from walking. It's bringing up shit out of my lungs. I'm galling asleep so I'll be back later.

6 days and I am a nervous reck. Besides finding out I am intolerant to whey Protein and the associated tummy/bathroom issues that went with that. I feel an imaginary cold coming at anytime. I also have imaginary heart issues. Should I call them worry palpitations. I have cleaned my bathrooms to a sparkle they have never had. Yeh, well is not the way I describe my current condition. So glad my husband is on a business trip or he would think I lost it. I think there's a bit of nesting going on here.

you'll do fine @@Beni

yes that coughing is nothing to be Scoffed at. That is some real pain. It's best to use a pillow held firmly against your abdomen.

Thought I would check in now that I am functioning. I had my surgery last Wednesday. Was in the hospital for six days. Because of other medical problems they used NO paralytics. I had a revision from a Nissan. I feel like I am doing GREAT. Not really needing pain medicine now. Hate cruising my pills and taking them it is so gross. Have my fist follow up appt tomorrow. I gained twenty pounds upon release. That IS a lot of Fluid to retain. It is taking its sweet time leaving the system. If I rested more maybe that would help it leave. For the first six days I thought I had made the biggest mistake. Over that hump and feel I made the right choice. Thanks for letting me ramble.

On post op day 4 I felt that way. Some days I still feel like I may have made a mistake. I hear that goes away eventually, just that I want to survive seeing grandchildren being born. My kids are still little, oldest will be 8 in December so I have a long life to live. I know there are studies for 10 years out but I don't see much of people who are much farther than that. That's what I'm most nervous about, the uncharted after 10 years. I can't wait until I'm happy with my decision.

Hi, my surgery is Tuesday Oct 28th, as much as I would love to go to day and skip the next 5 days of worrying, I have to wait patiently my turn.
