WLS-date July 28--need good wishes
Hi I am scheduled for WLS on July 28. I know it's really close. Dr. Shawn Garber will perform the surgery at Huntington hospital in Long Island. My husband Danny will have it also on August 21. We are both having it done LAP. I have been reading and sharing with different people on the internet but now that the date is approaching so fast I am getting nervous again. Any positive feedback--little tidbits of what you went through right after surgery, would be a appreciated. You can e-mail directly at [email protected]
Hi Angie, what a great thing, you and your husband are going to be able to have each other on your WLS journey. I had my WLS on the 9th and I am doing great. I had mine done lap also. When you pack to go to the hospital don't forget to take your own pillows, a good pair of slippers, (you will be doing a bunch of walking after surgery) and you don't need to pack a bunch of pretty gowns. I found out that the drain and g-tube leak around the insertion site. This gunk (no other name for it) will stain your good gowns. I wore the hospital gowns and wore a comfortable lounger home from the hospital. We live about 90 miles from the hospital that I was in. I guess thats all I can remember that were major biggies about what to do at the hospital to make sure you are prepared. I will keep you and your husband in my prayers, because I really do believe that prayer changes things. Your WLS friend...Brenda from Apopka, FL
Angie, I had open RNY on 7/2/03, in LA. I was more sore than I thought I would be, but you are having the Lap. You will do great. i didnt have any drains, but had an NG tube in my nose. Just bring things from home, and dont forget your robe and slippers. also if you are in the age range of having your menstral cycle be prepared.. It seems to bring it on early. Goos luck, you'll do great. We all pray for you.
