@Candace4283 good luck and I wish you a fast recovery

Thank you Juliie. I am very sore and sleepy.

Three days until my surgery. I'm feeling anxious and I'm definitely not handling the stress very well! Shouting at DHL parcel couriers and my phone company over minor issues. I'm really ashamed of myself and I hope this grouchy time ends soon.

I'm still worried that something will happen and my liver won't have shrunk enough or they will say I haven't lost enough weight or something.

@Candace4283 well done on getting your surgery done! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Not great, unfortunately. I'm doing better today though. Yesterday, I was really dehydrated.

Hi! Surgery is 10/16, as long as I survive this pre-op diet. lol. I’ve been at it seriously for a year now, and lost 60+ lbs with Ozempic.

Coming out of surgery I can’t wait to see my A1C drop, my blood pressure drop, and my CPAP go into storage.

Forgot because it’s been awhile since I’ve had any abdominal surgery. Thought it best to inform my surgeon of my multiple scar tissue and adhesions from 7-8 abdominal surgeries starting in 1981-2018. Have video appointment 10/11 but first…. 2nd one with nutritionist, then my pre op exam by primary, then pre op with nurse of surgeon, maybe another with nutritionist? Then surgery for gastric sleeve & esophageal hernia repair! Hope there is no problem with the previous surgeries?!

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm starting to have doubts but not enough to put me off. Just pre-surgery anxiety I think. Just trying to prepare a bag for the hospital. I know I'll be staying for one night for sure and supposed to be discharged the next day.

I have my pre op consent coming up and my pre op with a nurse. How long after that do you get your pre op for surgery apt. I’m under southmead Bristol.

I'm one day post op! Looking on the bright side! I get weird twinges in my belly and taking the liquid ibuprofen they gave me was not a pleasant experience. But I'm about to be discharged so I'll bee home soon!
