Surgery 10/10/07



Recommended Posts

I am one day out from having surgery on 10/10/07. I just had my pre-op this morning and all went good. When I got weighed today, I am 10# down from 9/11/07, last time I was weighed. So that is a good start before surgery, but I am still nervous, anxious and excited. Will keep in touch..... take care! :)

Good morning sadie, I also, have a date for surgery first thing tomorrow.

I am ready for it to be over. The main thing I am a little worried about is clots, I have been put to sleep so thats not a problem.

I am also wondering about the liver shrinking they all talk about. I haven't lost alot of weight, 9 pounds yesterday, and I can't understand how they know my liver has shrunk.

Good luck in the morning to both of us and all the others that is set for tomorrow.

OMG 10 pounds down- congratulations! If you can do that on your own just think of what you can do with the lapband!

It is scary thing for some people, for me it wasn't. The thought of being overweight my whole life was scarier. There are pictures of me laughing and posing in my hospital garb right before surgery. (not so much afterward.)

I will keep you in my thoughts tomorrow! Good luck. It looks like 10 is your lucky number... 10 pounds lost...10/10/07!

They put wrapping on my legs and gave me a shot to prevent clots. I'm sure that is stardard practice. My doctor did not put me on a pre-op diet. He said that there was no proof that you could shrink your liver enough in 2 weeks to make a difference. I had no bruising of my liver. Good luck tomorrow I will also keep you in my thoughs as well.

My surgery is over for me. I had it 10/10/07 and all went well. I was overnight in the hospital and now on 3 days of Clear Liquids. So far that is going fine, although, I am ready to add full liquids Sunday and can hardly wait. I am just a bit sore, but of course that will go away. I hope Carrott and Arkie are doing good. Let me know... take care. :eek:

I made it through. But man has it been rough. The anesthesia really did me in! I have been super sick and nauseaus. Finally today I am feeling some healing going on. I can actually sit up and walk around more. I have more strength. I am not nauseaus. I finally weighed myself post op- I have lost 6 1/2 pounds since Wednesday! I can't believe it! Anyone else weighed?

If my scales are with the doctors office I have lost 8 pounds since the 10th.

      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?

      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.
