duodenal switch Got my Surgery Date!!!! :) 4/2/18! Calling out any April surgery buddies!!!!

[domi 237]

My surgery date is April 10th! Excited and a little nervous. I am having a Gastric Sleeve and Hiatal Hernia repair. I have been doing well on the liquid diet even over the Easter weekend, it was tough but got through it. Did anyone else have this done at the same time and was able to go home the next day? Thanks for any comments

My surgery is tomorrow and I’m having both done. My doctor said as long as I can swallow and keep fluids down I’ll be released the next day.

Thank you for the kind words . Sorry about your pain. It will get better. Also did u weigh yourself ? I drank Water only while in the hospital and I came home today and the scale reads I’ve gained 12 pounds!!! What??? I’m not happy about this. Is this normal?? How could this even be? I’m checking scale
Again tomorrow and calling my surgeon! Has anyone ever experienced this?

Hi there, it is 100% normal to gain after being in a hospital. They pump you so full of Fluid that your basically sloshing! Plus the anesthesia contributes to fluid retention. Don’t stress it. Should come off quickly within the next week or two.

Oh wow??? Really? I was so upset about it and still am after getting on scale 6 times and it reading a 12 pound gain. Thanks for putting me back at ease!

Good morning y'all. I joined the losers bench. I wasn't nervous going in, but super sorry excited.

I was so excited . Now I'm in such pain. My tummy hurts, my head, and I have an abundant amount of gas in my left breast area. I keep reminding myself that I need this.

Sorry about your loss. I'm proud of you for continuing even after your loss.

I’m doing great so far I’ve been on several walks already. Thank you for the advice.

It’s probably frustrating for you, but they are trying to help you be successful. I’m sure we will all have our ups and downs. Remember we are worth it.
