Anyone having surgery in Oct ?



Recommended Posts

So glad to hear that!!! It is interesting I am suppose to start Vitamins when I get home. Every program is so different.

So I got a summons to appear in court on the 26th and my surgery is the 21st. I am wondering if I am gonna feel up to it. We got called to testify against this guy that broke in the house next to ours.... I am like what! I did not think the bank would file charges but obviously they did. I will ask my surgeon on my surgery date what he thinks, but I am a bit concerned.

How did you all feel 5 days post op? I am also having a hernia repair.

I really hope Ron is okay! Did anyone reach out to his wife since her last post?

Funny you got a summons, so did my husband & I for a guy who stole prescription drugs out of our house. I'm far enough out from surgery it won't be a problem. I don't think you are going to feel like going to court. Call the court house & ask them what they need to not have to appear. Probably something from your Doctor. I still had some gas pains at 5 days, not terrible just uncomfortable, same with gas. Now I'm going through Constipation issues, a little tired but feeling pretty good & I'm 9 days out. Each day gets better! Your going to do great!! I'm planning on contacting Ron's wife sometime today, since this is the first day I have really felt like doing much. I will let you know what I hear!

I know I thought it was so weird that it is happening so close to my date. I am gonna email my surgeon on Monday.

Glad you are feeling better!

I am Facebook friends with him. Myself and another BP'er commented on his wall, hoping a family member would see it. No comments yet. His brother-in-law posted about praying for him when it first happened but nothing since.

I sent an email to Ron's wife a few days after she posted here. Just sent well wishes, thoughts, prayers. I have not received an email back from her. I sure hope everything is ok.

I've been hanging out in here with you guys even though I didn't have a surgery date. Got it yesterday and now I am officially an October surgery. I'm scheduled Monday, October 26th! I'm excited and overwhelmed at the same time.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
