I ate about 6 tortellinis this morning! I'm having RNY TOMORROW AT 2:00! Oh Lord, what do I do? Should I try to throw up?!?

I would say you need to call your doctor right now and ask what you should do. There are really important medical reasons that your surgeon tells you to do and not do certain things. That being said, I've seen some people ordered to only have Clear liquids the day before and nothing after midnight, and some people who must have Clear Liquids for two weeks before surgery. It really all depends on your specific doctor, you you really should call him or her. Good luck!

It generally takes about 6 hours or so for food in your stomach to move through the digestive system. I doubt it will be in there by tomorrow at 2pm, but I would make my surgeon aware so he knows what complications could arise; or if he opts to reschedule.

Call your surgeon or the pre-op team and let them know. You may need to reschedule. Having solids before this procedure can put you at risk for complications such as aspiration, bowel obstructions etc.

i'm sorry but why would you eat tortalines before surgery? Call your doctor and let him know...they may have to postpone.

This is pretty much done now. Either she had her surgery on Sept. 2, or it was postponed. @@sallymann never replied so we don't know what happened.

[sallymann 8]

I talked to my doctor Tuesday morning and he said it was okay, and not enough to harm anything or cause complications. So I had my surgery yesterday at 2:30 and I came out with flying colors! I feel good, in a little pain but not anything that I cannot tolerate.

So @@pmanley, no need for your rude comment. This page is for encouragement, not smartass remarks.

I reported him/her after reading their comment yesterday. Glad to hear you had the all clear and are recovering! Keep us posted on your recovery. Xo

[pmanley 45]

The real truth that pmanley was commenting on was this is a HUGE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE your life. Please dig deep and try to comply... Your body and your doc will thank you
