Recommended Posts

I'm having my sleeve done tomorrow morning.. I'm very scared

Best of luck!

That pre-op anxiety and fear is very understandable. It was the worst part of the whole experience for me.

Sending good thoughts your way. I pray you have a uneventful, complication free surgery and recovery.

Let us know how you are doing.

(A side note: I gave my mom my phone with strict instructions not to give it back to me until I was no longer loopy from the pain meds!)

Good luck! Everything will be just fine. You are on the cusp of the new you. Please keep us updated!! I have 10 days and I can't wait. I understand being nervous. It's a huge life change! Keep us updated. Sending you positive vibes!

I love the phone comment. I am having mine do the same. No pain med induced texting if someone has your phone. I know how I get when I've had a few. I can't imagine what I'd be like on strong pain meds.. It's for my own good!

You guys are just amazing and so supportive.. Thank you!

Surgery went well and I really haven't experienced to much post op pain.. Has is a little uncomfortable and the larger incision(where the stomach come out) is tender .

I did the swallow test yesterday morning to make sure there was no leaking and then started Clear Liquids.< /p>

Thanks again for all the positive vibes and well wishes >hugs<

My surgery is tomorrow, 8/29. I'm glad to hear things went well. I'm a bit nervous and wondering what the first week is typically like.

Best of luck Sam! Nervous is normal, as you read, I was very scared. But the hospital staff and my surgeon were amazing and I'm following my Drs directions to a T.. So far so good.. Started full liquids today and did pretty well sipping on a protien shake.< /p>

Let us know how your doing.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
