July 2014 Surgeries

[Jan1973]

Yes you will be fine, you have a week left to be on the liquid diet.. My surgeon said on the pre on monday, what you eat the last three days before the op is the most important as it takes three days for the food to evacuate the stomach and for the liver to shrink xx

Oooh Jan that's good to know!

 

[Wireman]

Agree NorthamptonGirl good news thanks Jan

Hi yes I've started it ! Feels weird I have had a cheese sandwich! Which is on the foods. 1x slice of bread 1 x match box size cheese. I feel like I've cheated though... well going to follow it to plan. Just hope my liver plays fair x

Good luck guys. 11 days to go for me. Today has been tough, I am in a vile mood and just want to cry :-( my emotions are all over the show and I can't sleep because the pre op nerves are kicking in. X

First week of protein LSD has been tough and the week felt really long. However after about 4-5 days it started to feel like routine and I've adapted enough. Fortunately I'm not someone who tends to bounce off walls when stressed. I must admit being envious of those on a less strict regime.

Hi marcusbm are you flying there and back or is someone driving you. It won't be long now

Hi marcusbm are you flying there and back or is someone driving you. It won't be long now

I'm taking the Harwich-Hoek van Holland ferry and a train.

I thought the ferry would offer the option of relaxing of going for a stroll.

 

[mouse57]

How long will you be in hospital

 

[heavenlykaty]

Good luck today Lisamay, best wishes for a speedy recovery x

Anyone heard from rachlou ?

 

[marcusbm]

How long will you be in hospital

Night of the operation + 1 night.

The instruction is to stay 1 extra night before travelling home but I'm staying 3 nights and then a night on the ferry.

Op in July - Martin Richardson - Just Banded 2 days ago!

Hi there,
I just had my band done on Tuesday (1st July) at THG Dolan Park with Martin Richardson.
All went very well. Am in recovery at the moment. No pain in stomach but bad wind and pain in chest due to gas.
Experience was very smooth in general and was looked after although I was suprised how early I was discharged! 7am the next morning! Could have done with another few hours being looked after as my blood pressure was low and breathing still not great.
I am struggling a bit to navigate and use this site, it isn't the most user friendly and this is the second time I have logged on.
Good Luck with your pre op diet your op will come around quickly!

That sounds like a good plan give yourself time to recover before the journey back.
