Any February Surgery Dates...



Recommended Posts

I go on Monday. Waiting for the call tomorrow with the time. Haven't packed yet but I did stock up on my Clear Liquids. I have friends who had the surgery and they brought me tons of Protein powders and different types of Vitamins to try. Getting excited! And nervous!!!!!t!!

That's the wait that is getting me the most, is the wait for the time.... Already talked to the pre admit surgery nurse, but getting the time is stressing me out. I get so worried about, what if I miss the call, what if they forget to call. In the paper work it says if you don't get the call the day before your surgery to call in... Ummm really? Like you say the day before , but what time will you call so I know when to check by Kwim? And to top it off surgery on a Monday so doc isn't open the day before. It's got me all tied in knots. I told hubby, that if I don't hear something by 1pm than I'm calling

Good luck to you!

Good luck to you as well! I had my gallbladder out two weeks ago at the same hospital and they called around 2:30 so that's what I'm expecting. But you are right the wait for the time is all nerve wracking. Then Saturday I begin my liquid diet! Have lots planned to stay busy this weekend so I dont fixate on food.

I have a tentative date scheduled for the 22nd. My son has to have surgery about a week and a half before. If all goes well my surgery will happen then. If anything happens to delay my son getting home though mine will be postponed. :unsure:

Did you get your call? I finally caved in an called, I couldn't take it anymore. ;) I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning. =) I'm really happy with that. When I did the sleeve I didn't have to be there till after one with surgery time of 3. I was so dehydrated that they took an hour to find a vein and I almost didn't get the surgery. This time I can drink up till 12 so I will drink away lol, and I went today and bought hand warmers to put in my pockets to help with circulation. I have a bad thyroid so my extremities are always so cold. And I am such a horrible stick. =( Right after I called about the time, the atheist called and admitting called so I am all set! Now I will focus on the lesson I am teaching in primary for sunday school, so I can keep my mind off of food.< /p>

Happy for you????! I am Feb 8, too! I'm on my 6 day of my liver cleansing diet. I get to meet my surgery team and do any final prep they might need on Feb 5. Doesn't seem real in a way, but you get all excited and panicked in a way, also!! Wish you the best ????

      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.
