Hi there i had the same surgery and am overweight as well as much as i hate to admit that. There were no issues following the surgery other then the normal stuff. Good luck with you surgery hope everything goes well for you!
thanks for your posts! the doctor just frightened me a bit with his talk of being overweight taking the risks up and that i cud have reactions and not wake up from the anasthetic, then i could bleed excessively , cud get bad infections etc etc . it worried me slightly. xx
hi i had the same op as your having and i am the same weight and everything went fine i have alot of hang ups about my weight i totally understand how you feel if i can help to put your mind at ease pm me anytime hope all turns out well x
Just to put your mind at ease, I am a little overweight too and I have had 11 surgeries in the last nine years. It can make the risks a tad higher, but your doctor would not be doing it if he thought it was unsafe. You will need some help when you get home from the hospital. You will be down for about 6-8 weeks. Please make sure that you follow the doctor's orders. I'll be looking forward to hearing that you are home and doing well sometime next week.
