Recommended Posts

Surgery is tomorrow morning. Im a nervous wreck and I can't figure out if I have everything I need for tomorrow. I am staying a week with my mom since I have a little girl that loves to be carried and cuddle just by me.

Tips to get thru the first week? And when did you guys went back to work. I only have one week off and I'm freaking put its not going to be a lot of time to recover.

Congratulations on your surgery, best wishes for a great outcome. Some people do just fine with just a week off, but 2-4 weeks is probably more reasonable.

I am sure your Mum will be a great help and your little girl will be fine, no doubt.

Congrats to the newbies! You really don't need much more than the clothes you plan to leave in, and some flip flops. I was only there long enough to be sleeved, wake up, walk, sleep walk some more, pee and leave. You don't really need much. a toothbrush. You'll want to take a toothbrush and a hair brush or a comb. I took off a month. It was heaven. I had a wonderful recovery. A rough 3 or 4 days, but after that, it was awesome. I used that time to not only recover, but to re-learn how to eat, and to do some hiking with the hubs. It was awesome. Oh, I said that already.

How exciting for you!! I only took a week off and it was fine. I have a desk job. Just don't over do it. If you get tired, rest. You won't feel so great the first few days but soon after that you will start feeling better

Good luck to you all. I'm 3 days post op and feel great. Home and resting and drinking fluids. No vomiting. Feel fantastically not hungry at all and ready for my new life to start. So put your nerves and doubts to bed. You're taking good care of your future x

      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.
