laguerr13 993 Posted June 7, 2015 Counting down at T- 3 days and I'm stressed about things surrounding surgery, but ironically not the surgery itself, I want to make sure my FMLA pay is approved, I need the mechanic to work on my car, I need slippers, and I want my wife to stop stressing so much, I was even ok when I got a call on Thursday telling me that my surgeon had an emergency and would be out of the office 3 weeks, and asked if I wanted to keep my date and have his partner do it, of course I said yes, I've gotten to know the people and Dr.'s in the office, I guess I'm confident that my surgery will be ok, hut I want everything else to fall into place !

Menelly 56 Posted June 8, 2015 Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are placed in patients who have a history of or are at risk of developing blood clots in the legs, including patients: diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). with pulmonary embolus. Interesting. I have a history of blood clots and was told I'd go on lovenox afterwards, but no IVC thingy. I might call the surgeon and ask... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fromsleevedtome 50 Posted June 8, 2015 I am scheduled for June 20th in Mexico. I started my pre-op diet a few days ago and so far so good, but I'm dreading the clear liquid stage. I'm excited but also a little nervous. Glad to see so many others going through this process around the same time as I am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grandmaofone 411 Posted June 8, 2015 I am on June 15, excited and I am on day 6 of my restricted diet. Now bad so far. Glad I can still eat raw carrots, gives me something to crunch! I go on liquids only the day before, but doesn't have to be clear. I have lost 23 lbs through my 3 month diet and up till now. I have told my parents who were not happy, I have posted it on my Facebook page and have told the four families that I watch their kiddos. I didn't tell my in-laws, but my hubby did. I DONT LIKE THEM AND THEY STRESS ME OUR. So I have not even been around them since starting my journey in January. I am trying to enjoy the transformation and not hear any negative comments from people who are suppose to be supporting me through this journey. I wish you good luck and see you on the losers bench!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Memilie80 18 Posted June 8, 2015 My date is June 19th in TJ with Dr Garcia. Sooooo excited, but so nervous about flights, money and everything coming together. Started my pre-op diet of shakes with one meal per day a couple days ago. My insurance failed to approve me last week, but I haven't told any of my colleagues that. We are all nurses and surgical techs and surgeons and I don't want to hear their naysaying about going to Mexico. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
