Two weeks from today....



Recommended Posts

OMG, two weeks from today I will be sitting in a hospital room with a brand new sleeve. Am I nervous? Are you kidding?!?!? I have so many emotions running through my head right now, I don't know how I am going to get through the next two weeks. Man, I feel like a crazy lady! I want this more than anything, I know it is the right thing for me. I am scared. What if I am the only person in the world who does not lose weight with the sleeve? God, I am going to look stupid! I am nervous. What if, after the sole reason to having this surgery is to get healthy, what if I croak on the operating table. Boy, that would really tick me off. I am anxious. I am more than ready for this. I have done tons of research and am well informed, just antsy. I feel like I need to hold my breath until this is over....but I am ready to hyperventilate. Does that make sense? I am still waiting for insurance approval.....what if they deny me? OMG, I am all over the place!



I know I can't be the only crazy lady right now. Are you guys having the same thoughts? Share them with me, will you? Let me know I'm not alone!

Surgery is Friday for me and I feel ALL of those concerns. I have this utterly horrific fear of dying on the table and then having a leak, AND THEN not losing weight is a constant worry. I'm literally scared to death... but also excited and hopeful. :)

I think every person has had these feelings! Just stay positive and think of where you'll be next year at this time! Cute winter clothes!

Thank you for the replies. I am just all over the place, emotionally. So very unsettled. No unsure, just, ugh, I don't know.....just ready for it to be December 4th so I can be on to the next phase of me. Soon. Lord, send me patience, please! It helps to know that you guys feel that too. :)

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
