December 2014 Surgeries

Just waiting for a yoghurt before being discharged. Told it was a 90 minute operation with a larger than normal pouch but 220cm malabsorption to counter it. This was due to a band migration that damaged my stomach limiting surgical options.

I guess this means I might need to be extra rigorous with protein, vitamins and minerals. Told to stick to liquids/soup/yoghurt for three days before moving on to puréed foods. Otherwise the operation went well apart from some muscle cutting on my left abdomen which will take some time to heal.

Great to hear youre feeling better marcus. We have to have 2 weeks luquid then 2 weeks puree then 2 weeks soft. Every hospital are different ive found!
 
Further 2lb loss on yesterday so thats 5lb in 8 days. Slower than I thought but apparently I also had adhesiolosis surgery for previous surgeries so now I understand why I was so swollen and inflamed when my fb friends wondered if theyd even had it done!
So 22-7 last Sept13
19st pre op
18-2 op day 10 Dec
today 17-11 :) :)
 
Was sitting around from 7:30 til 13, ( was supposed to be I'm at 11) in my gown and socks, when I was called into a room to be told my op had been cancelled, no hospital beds :( I'm so gutted, burst into years, cldnt get my words out. Just dressed back in my civi's and waiting to be picked up from hospital. I think my heart and head has just shattered as have got so close to be turned away. No idea of new date no idea if going to be this year. Just got told to wait for a call either today or tomorrow
 
Oh no thats terrible mighty, I think its cruel when we go through what we do to that point. Its like this everywhere, someone was cancelled on wed at my hospital for same reason, they said they were having to turn even cancer patients away and thats terrible!
Hope you feel better soon and get a new date quickly as possible. Hugs xx
 
Oh how awful. You poor thing x

Sorry to hear this. I hope you can get a revised date soon. Have you been told to stick with the pre-op LSD?
 
Oh so sorry Mighty, what a shame , I thought it was bad enough when mine was cancelled the night before surgery but it must feel so frustrating in your situation, keep your chin up and keep focused take care .

Oh no!!! I do feel for you! Why didn't they say that sooner before they built your hopes up! I would be so upset also! Did the other woman have her op?? So sad for you. But you know what TODAY wasn't meant to be for any other reasons! Who's knows. You will get your op! Hopefully sooner than you think! Please try and lift your self up and think it will be soon! So sorry hun x
 
Well I've had some better news today (which is no comfort for Just + Mighty), they're doing my surgery on the 31st December after all. That is unless it gets cancelled because of bed availability which is a v real possibility at the moment. So starting the LSD tomorrow after a few days of truly appalling eating, so I'm actually ready for it!
 
Oh no!!! That's terrible news Mighty. Hopefully, it will be sooner than later.

Excellent news. What a roller-coaster!
 
Best of luck to Malazak for tomorrow.

It makes perfect sense.

My Christmas dinner might be a few spoons of soup or a cup of Bouillon. I did contemplate liquising a whole turkey but that could be hard work and it would last a very very long time.
