Getting ready for surgery



Recommended Posts

Went to see my doctor yesterday lost 8 lbs

Surgery date is Jan 24. Go to PreOp appointment on Monday the 16th nervous and anxious at the same time.

At the PreOp class one main question I had put me at ease. The procedure is 2 hours as long there aren't any issues. Which I pray it isn't. Have to put into my mind no matter how sore I am Walk walk walk after surgery. Really worried I have to walk up steps to get to my apartment. Going to look into a recliner so I can be comfortable. Any more advice I need to know would be most appreciated

Yeah the recliner helps a lot! Very comfy and easier to get out of than a bed.

Time wise my surgery was 26 minutes long, and I was under total for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
