Pysch, Nutritionist, and Endoscopy done!

Well today was very exciting for me. I met with my psychologist- she was very nice and all went well. Then I met with my nutritionist what a nice woman! So helpful. I was given my goals and informed I will be doing a liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery!
Well Sleep Study, Cardiologist, and Endocrinologist next....Looking for a late May early June surgery day!!!!!

Anxious

So I am excited and anxious. I keep reading stories. I know it's major surgery. Are there always complications? I know it sounds selfish but will I ever be able to have popcorn at a movie, cheeseburger and beer? Go to a wine tasting? No I don't want to pig out just lose the weight keep it off and enjoy my life .....

I was under the same impression but you will be able to in moderation or as much as your stomach will allow you! Lol I'm very much enjoying life.
I ask myself those same question s! My gastric sleeve surgery is about a month away- wine tasting is part of the summer....
Lol I responded to my own post....I crack myself up..
LOL

Aspirin????

Has anyone been on aspirin therapy because of a stent and have had a gastric sleeve?

Replies (1)

I don't think you need to worry. I have had a bare stent and been on low dose aspirin therapy for the past 17 years. I am now 6 weeks post op. I was able to take my aspirin the night before my sleeve surgery and then to resume it two days later. Although I am only 6 weeks post op, I have not had any problems related to the low dose aspirin.
Wow thank you so much for taking the time to tell me. I was so worried! I just had an excision surgery on my cheek for skin cancer in situ and it just won't clot properly so I was very nervous
How is your journey ?
God bless
