I'm having band to bypass revision surgery on November 8th. I'm excited for a life-change but nervous and anxious for the procedure. My anxiety is unfortunately so bad that my blood pressure sky-rockets at the hospital - and I don't even have high blood pressure! The last time I was in for a surgery (in February for an ankle surgery), I told them how anxious I was. They immediately spoke to the anesthesia doctor and got me a major dose of valium which was a huge help! Talk with your nurses, they are there to help you feel comfortable.
I do anesthesia on animals, stress and anxiety changes how much anesthesia we use but it doesn't necessarily change their outcome. Anesthesia is always a risk, but you are in the hands of trained professionals! Also, word of advice...talk to the anesthesia doctor as well (they should come talk to you anyway before-hand), tell them your fears, find out their credentials if it will help you feel better.
I'm 31, single, and just have animals as my kids. I'm going back to work 10 days after surgery - should be fun! You can do it! The outcome will be amazing and finally we can live a healthy life!

Hi all. Oct. 5th is going to be my 6 months post op. Right now I'm down 86lbs 270->184. Still having trouble with Water and Vitamins but I'm very happy with my progress. This is with no gym. Now that I'm closer to my goal weight I'm going to start working out.
Any other 6 monthers?
Sorry for the underwear pics. The ones on the left I took the morning if surgery, on the right was this am.
