Topic: RE: Aug 7
My surgery went excellent. I am having trouble getting all my water in but I am working on it. Its getting better each day. My calves are sore but I dont think its from blood clots because I am walking and etc. I think its potassium or water intake issues. So I am drinking, drinking and more drinking. Hope you are feelimg better, too.

I am scheduled for August 15th too!!! I am so excited that I can have the same date because I had to switch doctors due to my original one leaving the practice. But my new Doc is well respected in the field of Bariatrics so I feel I am in good hands!

How did your surgery go? I think the pre-op diet is one of the hardest parts of this process. I only had 3 days of a clear liquid diet and it was BRUTAL! I had headaches and was grouchy and tired. I'm glad to be past all of that. My surgery was Aug 6. The surgeon found a hernia in my diaphram and fixed that also. Today i feel pretty good. As long as I stay ahead of my pain I feely pretty good. I'm mostly tired...probably from the pain and nausea meds. But since sleep is good, I don't mind.
I think at this point we are past the worst of it...at least the scary parts are over. Now comes the WORK!

Topic: RE: August 6 is my date
I came home yesterday also after staying 2 nights at the hospital. My surgeon found a hernia in my diaphram that he repaired. I think most of my abdomin pain is from that. I have had lots of muscle pain all over. I think it is just how my body reacts to anestesia. The muscles in my legs and arms get really sore and it's like they forget how to function making mobility rather tricky. I am much better today. I didn't have any nausea or vomiting either in the hospital. They gave me a patch and a few shots for that and sent me home with anti nausea meds. I haven't gotten brave enough to not take the nausea pills just yet. I have spread out how often I take them tho. I just can't imagine how much it would hurt to throw up right now. I got to laughing yesterday and it was really painful!
I'm glad you made it through your surgery too. I think we are past the worst of it. I know we are past the scary stuff. Now we just have to do the work and make the most of it!

How did everything turn out for you on your surgery ? I came home yesterday and was in so much pain from the gas. Today is a much better day. No Nausea or throwing up at hospital so I fell great about that piece. I met others that were not as lucky and really were in tough shape. I am grateful to be on the other side of this. Here's to new beginnings !
Topic: August 27th is my Surgery Date!!!
So, I called the insurance company this past Friday, August 3rd, and was told that my claim that was submitted on July 18th was still pending/in review and that they would have an answer for me by Monday. So Monday, (August 6th) around mid-day, I called and was told that it was approved!!! I had my insurance fax my surgeon the approval (while I waited for this to be done on hold). About thirty minutes later, I got a call from the surgery scheduler!!! And my surgery has been scheduled for August 27th!!!!. I start my pre-op diet on Monday, August 13th and have a few more appointments leading up to surgery. I am getting nervous and I know that this will be here before I know it. It's taken 7 long months to get to this point. I am soooo grateful and feel soooo blessed....So excited for my new beginning!!
