How the surgery is done?



Recommended Posts

This might be a weird question, but do you have to be completely naked when going in for the surgery? Are you able to keep your underwear on? A bra? Anything besides a hospital gown? I heard they do it with you standing up, but then how do they put you to sleep?

When I get this done I want to fully naked..no gown. Hopefully I can video tape it too. I just want to see the look on everyones face haha.

:rolleyes:

I wore a hospital gown with nothing on underneath it, except some booties for my feet. I was also covered up by the surgery drapes. I was a sleep also.

After having two kids, I lost all sense of modesty and have no problem exposing myself to hospital personnal.

What a funny thread. The things everybody wants to know but everyone is afraid to ask. I did actually LOL because I was thinking about this too (yes guys worry about stuff like this too) especially potentially stark naked fat guys worried if they will get a catheter stuck in their:eek::w00t::eek::rolleyes::ohmy::frown::mad::sneaky::angry::):eek:

I had a gown on and some hospital mesh knickers but when I woke up the mesh knickers had gone! :blush: They gave me them back later on and I put them on. I stayed overnight in the hospital and although I had taken PJs in I stayed in the gown and mesh knickers as I was far too dopey to care about anything like that!

Love the nono places too!:w00t:

I was indeed upright and he did the surgery from between my legs..Didn't know this until I got into the OR.I about said let me outta here, and I had a male nurse..gown and booties only..Did NOT like the idea of being upright or doc being down there, but wasn't like I was awake to care anyway..

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
