Purple lady 15 Posted December 19, 2016 @@Purple lady, I didn't get a call either. Hmmmm Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I posted the same question to a local FB group and others had not gotten a call but still had their surgery. I guess it depends on the surgeon's practice. I was given the opportunity to ask questions during my pre-op testing.

newmein2017 16 Posted December 19, 2016 I go in at 9:30, but they told me surgery will be at 11:45am. I'm nervous. I don't know how I'll sleep tonight. Haven't even packed anything yet, but from reading others posts I won't need much. Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newmein2017 16 Posted December 21, 2016 How's everyone doing? I've been home a couple of hours. I'm really tired, but can't seem to relax at all. I'm worrying about everything. Had a scare during my surgery. Doctor said my bp was going crazy high then really low. At one point I was bleeding much more than usually because of a high bp. She actually hugged me this morning and said I scared her. So, now I'm scared and kinda wish I had stayed another night in the hospital. Hope everyone else had a much more normal procedure.

Glad you are doing better. I had a problem with both high BP and low saturation but it's the end of day 2 and I'm home relaxing. Can't wait for a night sleep where you are being woken up every 60-90 minutes. Hope it happens. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. McCray2009 34 Posted December 22, 2016 Just checking in on everyone. Had my surgery on 12/19/2016. Started out 266, after 3 day clear liquid I lost down to 255 on the day of surgery I was 260. It has been 72 hours later, and I am down 10lbs already. I'm not hurting in any of my incision sites, my pain is my soar throats from the intubation. But I have been gargling with salt and it's just now feeling better. Nervous about getting on the scale to see where I am. I have decided to only weigh in once a week. QUESTION: is anyone having trouble getting all of this Fluid in each day? I am supposed to start drinking at 8AM AND FINISH BY 8PM, but I get so full and can't consume everything The said to drink on the meal sheet. Any advice???

baileymedlin24 37 Posted December 22, 2016 I haven't had the problem of not being able to drink, because I have been SO thirsty. Omg your throat hurts bad too? Mine is killing me! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
