Vacationing after surgery.



Recommended Posts

Totally true about being weak and exhausted post op . I am 4 days post op and get exhausted from my showers as well. I have no energy and what little I do gets used to walk around and keep myself active for the best opportunity to heal. I have been able to get my fluids in with no problem but as soon as I am hot I am instantly nausea and feel lightheaded. Hope everything goes well for you and you are able to enjoy your vacation.

Just keep that Water bottle in your hand at all times and keep sipping like crazy. Also watered down apple juice and good chicken broth. These things will help on the energy front as well.

You do have to be a little realistic, you really have no idea if you are going to have issues with drinking and eating or not, you won't know until post surgery and then you will have to make the call.

You definitely do not want to cause yourself a trip to the ER. Are you flying?ni was not allowed to fly in the first 30 days. They were worried about blood clots.

biggrin.gif My name is Martha, I am 31 yrs. old I have always battled with my weight. I was willing to do anything even the other types of surgeries, luckly my husband heard of the band and gave me tons of info on it, so I began looking up info talking to my doctor about and decided to go for it. I am scheduled for my ban september 22 in Monterry Mex. with Dr. Rumbout. I am a little nervous, (will it work for me, will it hurt, can I keep it up) but I am optimistic, it has worked for many the way I see it has to work for me. Wish me luck. Martha

No I'll be drivin with lots of stops between me and the kids lol. I just don't want to be the reason that everyone can't go. It's our first full family gig in years. I have 5 kids i promised thst we would get to go. I know there could be complications that are our of my hands. I was just wondering if It was even possible 14 days out if I would be "okay" for the travel. As long as there is a possibility I have hope I can make this still happen ya know?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
