Hi Michelle! Good luck on your upcoming surgery and best wishes for a speedy recovery. My surgery is scheduled April 15th in Fair Oaks, VA. We'll both be on the road to a new, healtheir, happier life this summer! Congrats to US!
Hi Michelle,
I want to wish you all the best on your upcomong surgery and new life :-)..I am scheduled for surgery /open rny / on 4-25-02 and I have practically been glued to this site a a few others since I have started this Journey.. the old timers that seem to have the most success say WALK WALK WALK AND WALK ..LOL AND BREATHE DEEP AFTER SURGERY EVEN IF IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE..and a side note on that... my pulmonologist says that you will keep your lungs healthy if you will take 10 to 12 deep breathes every hour after surgery and he says WALK WALK WALK ALSO !! apparently that helps keep away the blood clots and gets you system awake and knowing it needs to heal :-) and the other thing is DRINK DRINK DRINK ... SIP WATER AS SOON AS DOC ALLOWS IT ... AND GET YOUR PROTIEN FIRST AFTER YOU'RE HEALED AND EATING OR DRINKING SUPPLEMENTS... ANYHOW ... i'm taking all that advice to heart ... i want with all my heart to be successful at this and get to my goal ... i think my biggest challenge will be staying focused and learning to nurture me instead of doing it all for family and friends and not taking time to do the things that i need for my health and well being... i think that is just a mom/caregiver type thing ... but we have to find some balance :-) i'll be praying for you :-)
