Kaiser day of surgery

[JenniBenni 1]

Can anyone tell me how day of surgery goes at Kaiser? When is the final weigh in? Have any of you had your surgery canceled due to weight gain? I haven't gained weight but my body hates me and I'm stressing out about being one lbs heavier or something.

Oh good. I'm on time then. I was weighed on my pre-op education appointment and the day of surgery. It really depends on your doctor. On my pre-op education appointment, I had gained 2.6 pounds. My surgeon didn't cancel my surgery.

Did you do the options program?

No it's not required at my Kaiser unless you gain weight pre-op. I hope everything goes according to plan.

Oh well at least you have that. I had to do a 12 week class and if I gained, my doctor would not operate. When I graduated, I had lost 19.6 pounds.

The day of surgery, I laid on a bed and they attached me with my IVs. When they said it's time, I blacked out. Lol. Then I woke up with a breathing mask on my face. I remember it was sooo itchy. A lot of people have bad experiences with recovery. I am very lucky because my recovery was very smooth. I felt normal pain but that is something you deal with on your own. To this day, 7 weeks post-op, I still have not felt hunger pains.

I had nothing but broth, Water and ice chips. The beef tastes the best! Other than that, the nurses check in here and there with meds. I had my own room, which was good because I kept getting up to try to pass gas. Walking didn't work for me. But remember, it does go away. Lol. I cried because I thought I'd have it forever.

Also, I felt no nausea. I had the RNY

Oh Gosh, im totally afraid of this! Im taking the options class now and have 4 more classes to go. I've only lost 7 lbs so far and I'm getting a revision from my lapband I had removed in Dec. I currently weigh 184. I'm hoping with 4 more lbs, they wont deny me. I've attended every single class and always turn in my weekly work. Gahh..I feel like a lot of people aren't really on it it my class though. I hope I still get approved.
