not to be mean, I hope this discussion stays blank. Because that would mean that there were no unsuccessful stories. Bottom line, it is up to the person if they want the surgery to be successful or not.

Sorry your so sensitive. ..it's not being mean ..it's called reality..At the last minute people change their mind about surgery. Sometimes surgeons cancel surgery due to high blood pressure, fever, scar tissue or any other complications.

I don't think it's very encouraging to focus on the negative. Especially on a board that should be about support. I had an absolutely wonderful surgical course. Zero pain, gas,nausea, vomiting, Constipation. I walked in recovery and had no problem sipping Water. I say so repeatedly because I would like to encourage those who are worried or afraid that not everyone has horrible gas pains, etc.... Some of use have completely uneventful hospital course.

Hearing horrors stories might be the thing to scare someone off from a potentially life saving surgery.

Why not focus on the positive?

It's not about being negative it's called being knowledgeable about things that go on in life. You call it a horror story it could be a wake up call for someone else!

My friend surgery was rescheduled due to extremely high blood pressure. A lady did not follow through with her surgery in Mexico. Everybody has something to share!!

Sorry you don't watch the News.

:huh:

There are possibilities of things complications and things going wrong with every surgery. If you had used the search feature you could have found quite literally hundreds of post with exactly that. To create a post just for that seems both useless and redundant.

However if you feel the need to perservate on pain & complications, carry on. I'll continue focusing on the positive.

      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.
