My surgery is tomorrow...oh the nerves!

By PhotoLover8

My surgery is in the morning! I'm excited and very nervous. The closer it gets the more nervous I get. I'm having my gall bladder removed and the gastric sleeve at the same time. It's after midnight so I can't eat or drink any more. I need to stop thinking so much because it's making my stomach hurt!

 

Just curious, has anyone else had another procedure at the same time as their sleeve?

    I had a hiatal hernia repair along with my sleeve. You will do great! The surgery isn't that bad. I don't do well with pain medications so that's always a challenge for me, but really it's not that bad.

    Good luck!!

    Anticipation was worse than actual surgery for me......I had lots of work done besides sleeve...I had two hernias repaired and a bunch of adhesions removed from a very old surgery.....and all done laparoscopic with 7 incisions. You are going to great! And keep us posted
