Rny tomorrow-Getting Cold Feet Normal?

Thank you so much for sharing your surgery experience and all the wonderful insight! That really help?? And Kudos to you!! Look at that weight you've lost!!!! Wow! I'm sooo impressed! I cannot wait to have more energy and stamina again!?? Hugs, Jennifer?

Congratulations, your new life begins tomorrow!

I was nervous too, and promised myself I could back out at any time. All of the worry was for nothing though, as the surgery itself was just a tiny blip...I remember going into the operating room, and then I remember waking up after surgery.

It's the best thing I've ever done for myself. I'm 8.5 months out, down 119 Lbs, from size 24 to 12, and am not done yet. I feel so much better now, and years younger. My life has changed for the better, drastically, and my health has improved so much.

Kathy you've done amaaaaazing!!! 119 lbs is AWESOMMMEEEE!! ð?'?ð?'?ð?'?I too, feel like better health is a tremendous gift to myself & it's something I need to do for myself. Im so glad you've felt all the wonderful positive dude effects thus far on your journey! I'm so excited for what the future brings to this girl too! Scared but certainly worth the hoops we all must jump through for ourselves & our families!?? Hugs!!!ð?'? Jennifer ?

Perfectly normal. As soon as you see the anesthesiologist, ask them for versed. You'll go into the OR on a cloud of fluffy love.

Good luck!

LOL at "a cloud of fluffy love"! Ain't that the truth!

I wrote this on my arm!! VERSED they gave it to me to chill out and I needed it!! But I am a nervous nelly. You go into surgery they knock you out and before you know it you are in recovery. Your new life starts tmw!! Congrats and good luck it will all work out

Surgery was great. Had some complications, however. Temp went from 99 degrees to 102.6 post op day 4. I have ATELECTASIS it turns out. (An area of one of my lungs didn't reinflate) after I was taken off the ventilator during anesthesia. This can turn into pneumonia, so pushing myself hard to do every single thing I'm supposed to perfectly. Also had pain with bending over immediately post-op, the pain is deep inside & the surgeon told me it's due to the way he overlapped the muscle he stitched back together. This seems to be getting a little better now that I'm on day 5 however. Diarrhea is chronic is was always explosive & now just chronic. Also, STRANGELY,I did not pass gas what so ever while in the hospital! No bowel sounds til mere hours before discharge too! No shoulder pain either! Was quite cool!!! I did however walk the halls at least a 50 times Ide say. I walked each hall about every hour to three hours at least 2 times as well as throughout the night at like 1am & 3am like a freakin' mad woman!!! And that wasn't due to gas pains or shoulder pain, just to mitigate chances of a blood clot! Anyway, still ended up that I have this lung issue now and also due to the bodies natural stress levels from surgery, I have hundreds of cold sores on my lips going up to my nose. I'm taking a Lysine (amino acid) several times/day which is greatly helping. Otherwise, I'm just sleepier than normal. The good news is that I don't need pain meds, though I have them on hand! Day 1 was also already off my BP meds too and CPAP machine!! Woo-hoo!! Benefits for me started day 1!!!

This x 1,000,000.

Ok maybe I'll write it in my arm so I don't forget!!! lol!! Thank you!! Hugs!:)
