lynsmyster's Blog One Month from Today and Turning 30 all in the same week!
One month from today! Well, this year is surely the year of change. I turn the big 30 on wednesday and exactly one month from today I start my journey. It all seems like perfect timing. I would not say I am excited though, I would call it more of a feeling of just being "ready." The first time around of trying to get approved I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. Now having been denied and appealed with surprising victory, I am more realistic about it and just "ready" more than anything. My fears are not the surgery, which it always has been. Now I find my fears mostly being the first 3 months post op. I am also very uncomfortable with this whole catheter issue I have been told I must have ha ha. I wonder if the doctor takes bribes... 3 Comment(s)

I think you are right about feeling "ready". That's exactly how I felt the day of surgery and before. I think you're gonna do just fine. You have no unreal expectations because you've been hanging out on the boards, and hearing all the "bad" stuff that happens to people. Just follow instructions and it will be ok.(even the catheter part) Reggie

With me, they put the catheter in after I was put to sleep and took it out once I got to my room. I did walk once with it, it actually felt like I had to pee. When they took it out- I didn't feel anything. I was kinda stressing over it as well, but I didn't even know when they did it. Maybe you should ask and see how your docs do it?? Don't stress....

Hey, Happy birthday!! My birthday was April 5, the day I was discharged from the hospital - I am looking at this RNY as one hell of a birthday present!! On the catheter issue, I did not want one either, but they put it in when you are out (it does not hurt either way) and my doctor did let the nurses take it out that evening. Apparently, it is not usual and they usually make you wait 24 hours, but I was up and walking right away and doing the sips and chips of ice. So they had to call the doctor about something, maybe my blood sugar or something and I asked them to ask him and he okayed it. It never hurts to ask and I had no problems going on my own after that. I did notice that you have type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed with that a couple months before my surgery and since the surgery I have not taken any meds or had an abnormal blood sugar. It was up the day of surgery and the day after that, but probably due to being nervous about the surgery. Can I go on and on or what! have a great day!
