June 29th Bypass Surgery



Recommended Posts

That's amazing ! I'm proud of you for being brave to do this! The fact that you said you'd do it again makes me feel better, I don't know when I developed this unrealistic fear for tomorrow but I'm really trying to not be afraid. Keep us posted, good luck !

@TeeNahh. I really meant I would do it again. I was very nervous the night before and this morning I was a wreck. Just keep moving, keep on those pain meds and tell them to take that God forsakeng catheter out. It didn't hurt it was just annoying walking around with it bobbling around so you have to hold it. Sorry for any typos. I'm a little drugged up right nor from the liquid Percocet.

Hey everybody, my surgery went well. I've just been dozing in and out for awhile that I haven't been on here yet. And now that I'm up I'm going to start walking around here soon. @@smrogg the reason they probably haven't taken the catheter out yet is because they want to make sure the anesthesia is out of your system which can take awhile. One of the things it likes to do is slam shut orfices, the first it usually does and lasts the longest is on your uretha. So instead of taking it out and possibly having to put a catheter back in they like to be on the safe side.

Lol sorry for making you all confused..the removed my catheter as soon as I got to my room. It was the initial walking around in recovery I had to keep it in for. The said they normally keep it on for an entire day. I told them well if you want me to walk you better taken that thing out lol. My doc didn't have a problem with it again.

@@TeeNahh just wanted to say good luck today. You're going to do great. I also said a prayer for you. A year from now you'll look back at this and wish you did it sooner. Just wait til we can actually go to a store and say "oh, I like that shirt!" And actually be able to buy it!!!!

Honestly the only reason I want to go home is because I can't sleep here. I'm sharing a room with a woman who has an entourage with her. There are literally 7 people here right now. And two slept over last night. One of them offered me an ice cream sandwich...how nice of them!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
