However, my dear hubby is reading over my shoulder and does not like the idea that the dr. was standing between my legs doing the procedure.

Well that's why I didn't tell my husband! I had my surgery over a year ago and he still doesn't know!

Hey ladies. I too was commando for my surgery. I was also on my period. My tom decided to be a week late and arrive on the day of my surgery. It was very light so I know I didn't bleed everywhere, but you know what's super creepy? I woke up with a pad between my legs!

OMG!!! :thumbup::lol::(:lol:

Believe me... when you've had kids, this is a walk in the park! I was awake when I was spread eagle for the kids.

At least I'll be asleep this time! :)

OMG! I am sitting here laughing. And I needed a laugh. I'm going through the "What the hell am I about to do!" phase! :thumbup:

I remember that feeling. I actually felt that way all the way up to surgery. I remember being wheeled to the OR thinking "No stop, I can't do it!" But now I'm SO glad I did it.

I didn't have any "what am I about to do?" moments, but after surgery one of the first things I thought was "what did I just do?" At the time it didn't seem like the pain and the discomfort was worth it. Thank God for pain meds!

This is thread is too funny!!! I can picture the doctors saying damn the lapband, how about a breast lift, Lipo and a wax!

This made me crack up!

I remember the first time I had surgery for my gall bladder back in 1993 I woke up with a catheter and thought.. "oh my God, what did they do to me in there?" Its true though, they have seen it all!

My ex bf had a kidney stone and he went in to have a shunt put in (imagine, going up through the penis to the kidney.. ugh!), he had to get into stirrups!! I thought, anything they will do to me would be better than a man going into stirrups! haha As women (and mostly here we are women), we are used to being poked and prodded :biggrin:

I used to work with a nurse practioner who would put men in stirrups when they needed an anal exam!!

I like to be informed so I tend to read many posts on here. Crap, I wish I hadn't found this one! OMG. I knew the commmando issue but the other stuff!?!?

I'm all for a one-stop-shop deal: band, Lipo, lifts, tucks, whatever needs liftin' and snippin' :)...I mean, if I'm already there, the doc's there, why not? Just leave any leftover scraps in the trash please.

This is a great thread for a laugh....And a rude awakening for anyone who's never had surgery :tt2:. Commando is the easy part! It's looking your surgeon in the eye afterward that'll be tricky. Just to even the playing field, I think I'll ask mine for a quick peep show before we head to the OR. Heck, he'll be in scrubs. Easy enough to pull down and let me have a look :lol:. It would only be fair, right :sad:? If I get any photos, I'll be sure to share them, ladies.

Good luck everyone! And thank you, God for good drugs!!

      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.
