Surgery

Got my pre-assessment in and getting nervous now is there anything i need to do to prepare for surgery or bring with me to the hospital it lools like an overnight stay. One step forward two back its defo a rollercoaster journey. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Surgery has been agreed but no guarantee has been given, and I have been told if there is a lot of small spotting of the disease, she will have to close me up again. I'm really hopeful but also realistic that I may be opened up, and stapled together without the cancer being removed.

I have ankle surgery soon and understand I need to stop the drug prior to that and then restart once the wound has healed. Thanks in anticipation x

So I finally got to see the endometriosis specialist again after screaming and shouting yet again, they told me they will finally take out my overies away and put me on prostap injections up until this surgery I really hope it helps, this is my last resort it's been years of pain pills injections and

I am booked in for surgery at the beginning of July, hopefully only repair needed on my mitral and tricuspid valves but I also need ablation and another procedure to attempt to stop the af that I have been permanently in for over 2 years now.

Hi I am on waiting list for Aortic valve replacement at Golden Jubilee , can anyone tell me the approx waiting time between pre op and the surgery ? Thanks

Hey I got my lap done nearly 6 weeks ago and honestly my back pain has never been as bad my period is nearly 2 weeks late which is my normal lol but dose anyone get pain in lower back near tail bone ? I had endo on uterus xx

N blood work I am seeing my oncologist this week so I now have more questions after reading the surgeons notes starting at after this surgery may patient May need other procedures such as bladder surgery etc I am 68 n doing very well on my current meds which shrunk my lung nodules .

I have had parkinsons for 5 years and need a hip replacement, I fear how the anesthesia will affect my symptons. I have an appointment with a new neurologist, but it's not until the end of March. My surgeon can only tell me that it's my decision,

I will be doing week 3 run this Wednesday BUT - then due to have revised FESS surgery on my sinuses on Thursday. I have Google’d “when can I run again after FESS” it says after 2 weeks I could but not 100% full pelt.

My consultant said he would do my cataracts which are not that bad yet when my AMD is more stable as this surgery can make it worse. Any thoughts or advice. Thank you.

I was told by my surgeon to start taking Vitamin D3 daily (at least 2,000 IU) because they will test my Vitamin D level prior to surgery and if it's not at least 25, then they will cancel my surgery, and I don't want that to happen.

Does anyone know how long they normally wait between the lap and full surgery? Thanks 🙂

Nothing could scare me more than awakening from surgery having uncontrollable RLS. Can’t imagine how hard that would be. So please please someone send me the meds to tell the anesthesiologist I CANNOT take pre op Thanks again for this wonderful forum Linda

I am due to have a tricuspid valve replacement with open heart surgery in the next few weeks. I have been getting some conflicting info regarding wearing a bra or not after the procedure and what type if necessary is best.

The pain makes me surrounded to remove it, now I'm not afraid from the surgery, I'm worry about how much it'll take to recover? because I need to do things by myself no one to help, will I return like before? Can hold heavy things, work, run.... What I need to know before surgery? And after?

After all the waffling i just wondered if anyone has had this done and if it sent them into a long bad flare because any surgery I've previously has caused a flare but because this is a biggest surgery i will have had ? Thank you all xxx

I’ve decided to pay for private lap as I’ve been told my NHS lap will be 2 years time due to waiting times and with pain management surgery is my final straw.

I am due to have surgery in a couple of weeks as I have chocolate cysts on both ovaries both 10cm big. Has anyone gone through the same? Worried about fertility and possibly loosing both of my ovaries due to the size of them!

He ended up having surgery. He was on various pain medications (which he never takes and did not do well on) and then there has been some regression after surgery in regards to symptoms. I recently read the books by Martyn Hopper and they are very informative.
