Topic: RE: Pre Op Questions

Greetings!,

I have a few quick questions as I am in the final lap of my requirements for surgery! (woohoo)

I know this is going to be very subjective, but i have never had a child or any major surgery... How bad is the pain upon recovery? The first week after, how much pain should i be in?

Also, I hear a lot about the gas in the week after surgery. Any thing that you found to be helpful in dealing with the gas situation?

Lastly,
What are some "must haves" following surgery to make life easier. Anything you wish someone would've suggested/told you about after surgery.

Trying to prepare myself as much as possible.

Thankss!

Topic: RE: Pre Op setbacks.

OFeeling a bit discouraged.
I have done all my pre reqs for surgery.
Had an abnormal EKG & went in for cardiac clearance.. was unable to get that, due to increased heart rate my cardiologist is giving me a echo and 48 hour monitoring for my heart.
another setback.
Feeling very discouraged..
Any kind words would be appreciated.

To all of my VSG vets, did you all have hoops and bounds you had to get through in order to get your surgery.

I feel like this surgery will never happen.

Topic: RE: Abnormal EKG.. Yikes!

Just had an EKG, and it came back abnormal.. I am trying not to freak out, but I am freaking out.
I have a history of high blood pressure & high cholestrol.
I scheduled my cardiac clearance.

I am worried this will stop me from getting my VSG

Anyone have any experience doing this before surgery.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
