Was in ER last night with Dehydration...

and now I am supposed to have my fasting pre-op appt. tomorrow at 10:45AM!! Ugh. I am a bit leary about just now introducing foods since Sat. a.m. when I started feeling sick and then having to turn around and fast for that long. I've put a call into my surgeon's office to let them know this and whether or not I should keep my pre-op appt. tomorrow. I REALLY dont' want this to push back anything, especially my surgery date next week. Although, all this happening now makes my skeptical mind wander...should I be doing this?!?

Hi Kristy, I wanted to tell you what my WLS group told me when I said "Should I be doing this" they said "ABSOLUTELY" and to "Push the thought right out of your head" . . . now I haven't had surgery yet, but this is coming from ppl who have been there and done that. I wanted to tell you that your story sounds similar to mine. I've had a recurrent sinus infection for a year now and I'm actually waiting to have septoplasty done the end of May to fix the problem, but I've been on antibiotics now for 2 weeks. The Dr's are wanting to ensure I won't have any infection present the day of the surgery and I tell you i have had those thoughts more than once.. should I be doing this stuff. Now, that I"m so close I think YES I have waited long enough to have this surgery and come rain or shine I'll be there May 7th to have it done lol. Just hang in there this part is almost over. I'm not sure what type of diet restriction ur on, but I've been doing soups and pushing the water for the past week and I have to say my body has went WHOA what are u doing dude?!! I had diarrhea something terrible and that has finally subsided, but other than that my body has started to adjust. I'm sorry you were in the ER w/ dehydration and I know how bad you must be feeling from that. I just wanted to say hang in there. Lots of love. kelly

Hey Kristy, Bless your heart! I'm sorry your not feeling well. I hope that you feel better soon. Of course you should be doing this! I started freaking out the other night and had convinced myself that I would die during surgery lol. Like my husband told me, "A year from now you'll be so glad you didn't change your mind" You've made it this far girl... GO FOR IT!!!!! Hang in there and I'll be praying for you !!!
