12 vials of blood.......yes... 12!



Recommended Posts

So today was my pre op appt. I got there at 9:35am and was called in to do the rest of my paperwork for the hospital paper work, and sign in blood and fork over my first born......

Then I was called back in to the room where they ask you about past present and future issues......

Meds I am on, and how much I take. The "God" who puts me to sleep rushed in and talked about things, and then said see you thursday morning...... ! The vampire.... hee hee..... took 8 vials first and then came back in and forgot to do a type and screen. 4 more vials sucked from my being.

So, that was my day in a nutshell. Drove 2 hours up and 2 hours back. I should be all set for thursday. I can't wait to be there and set for surgery!

I am tired from all the driving.

The good thing is that there is plenty more where that came from, and believe me, they will come back for more later. It is a good thing for them to do a pre-op test of all your blood work, so they'll have a baseline to compare to down the line when things like cholesterol and sugar levels and such improve.

wow what a vampire.:)...Im still getting the paper work going, Im kinda scared but my health is deteriating and I believe the main factor is this weight....my dr is Hamm....has anybody had any dealings with him?...I probably wont get my

band until 2009....in the mean time I just try to get the Insurance co. to say GO FOR IT.

Im from Forney but work in Plano so dr Hamm seemed like an ok dude to me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
