Surgery date Sept. 30th



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow. Feeling like I am not ready.

To make things worse people I work with are acting like I am going through some horrible thing. Really?

I opted out of confiding my personal life with my co workers. My family and close friends know I'm having surgery tomorrow. As for my coworkers. I'm on a much deserves and needed two week vacation

I am so excited, I get to have my surgery on Sept. 30th. This is day seven of my liquid diet and it is hard but I know it will be with it in the end. My pre-surgery journey has gone so fast it almost doesn't seem real. From the 1st time I saw the doctor to surgery will be 62 days. Anyone else Sept. 30th?

goodluck today!!

I wanted to check in with my fellow Sept. 30th surgery date people.

How did it go? My surgeon said the operation was a success, but oh am I in pain right now. It hurts so bad.

The little itty bitty pain pails he gave me just take the edge off, they don't really help with the pain.

I didn't know it would hurt this much.

Does anybody know how long this pain lasts?

Oh and I had to go home with a drain stitched into me. A real pain to empty and care for. It is there until next Wednesday.

Thanks all.

Well, my actual RNY was a success but I am still currently in the hospital. After surgery my blood pressure and heart rate went very high. After several test and another surgery to verify there was not a leak it was determined I have a small blood clot in my lung. I am on blood thinners and the doctors are very confident the clot will b absorbed back into y body. So I am hoping to get to go home within the nxt few days.

      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.
