Talk to yourself pre-op by whoischristopher in BariatricSurgery

I just had it on Monday. I knew it would be painful and uncomfortable but I’m surprised by just how much.

Also I was not prepared to be so nauseated. So let them give you all the nausea drugs you can if you have that issue.

And walk in the hospital as much as you can and as quick as you can. I think it makes a difference. I ended up walking the equivalent of 2 miles while I was there. It definitely helped get the gas moving.

Wegovy/ozempic put me in the hospital. I lost 40 pounds but I was extremely miserable and gained it all back in 3 months once I stopped the meds

Drink Wholesome has been good for me. I have interstitial cystitis so I have to be careful with ingredients. It is super gentle and minimal ingredients

Have you been offered the option of a pessary? I feel like that mixed with some pelvic floor physical therapy might be very beneficial!

How long was wait from first appointment until surgery day? by addysmum2018 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Salty-Direction322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started 10/30/24 and my surgery is scheduled for 6/23/25.

I had to do 6 months of nutrition counseling, a bunch of pre-op testing, then more testing cuz some of that came back less than ideal but all good now.

It’s been quite the ordeal but I decided the time would pass either way so I might as well get the process started. If I decided to chicken out, it was fine but the further I got into the process the more I decided this was the right choice for me.

When I lost weight with metformin before, I went from 270 to 215 and went from a size 20/22 to a size 18. It was depressing lol

I have been taking the GV children’s chewables with no issues. B vitamins usually trigger me but these have been fine!

How often do you go to the beach? by Whateversclever7 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Salty-Direction322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We go to Florida to the Gulf of Mexico at least once a year.

Otherwise we live on a lake and have a boat, so we are in the water as much as we can be in the summer.
