On my way now to get the surgery done now … getting scared ..

My surgery is scheduled for April 19th 2022, I am both a mix of excited and insanely nervous (very much unlike me) That said I am ready for this journey and looking forward to it all in all, not necessarily looking forward to the next month or so , but happy none the less.

Mine is April 11th starting to get nervous !!

Mine too! Emotions are a bit all over the show. I’ve been a hangry witch this week on the liquid diet, i’ve stuck to it pretty well, weight has gone down. Because of Covid here there are NO visitors at the hospital, husband has to drop me at the door and pick me up at the door the following day, so that sucks!

We had similar restrictions in California. I think pre op was the hardest! I had my bypass 4-5-22. The waiting alone..Then you wake up, the nurses control any pain or nausea and you are off to your room where you can wash up, make calls, and wiggle your toes. I was a lil groggy, but really happy. I could not wait to lift my gown and see proof my dream was real! I started walking that night. Before I left the next day I had walked just a tip over a mile doing laps around the floor. I felt like a 🌟! Some laps were 1 time others up to 4.

Wishing you all of the best!!

Hi all Had my surgery Friday 4/8. please be prepare for the Gas pains, the first couple of days, walk it and warm packs . pains are getting better. i did ask for some melatonin the 2 nd night new able to rest a lil bit. trying to get the fluids in.

[Tina 2.0 64]

So True! Walk walk walk! It is really the best way to dissipate the surgical gas that is pumped into the abdominal cavity for the procedure. If you can’t walk then whatever you can tolerate like sitting on edge of bed, transferring to a chair, sit to stands.

Be Well!
