Just got surgery date, but I am so scared, anyone else feel like this?
Miters36 replied to EvRev's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
HI, i too have been having some conflicting feelings regarding surgery. (I'm planning my sleeve for March 15th with Dr.Ramos Kelly.) At times i let my mind wander too far into the unknown and get myself worked up. but the fact is I know it is going to be fine. Look at how many thousands upon thousands of people have surgeries every day and turn out with great results.Even when many of these surgeries are elective (like face lift,tummy tuck,lipo,etc.) Many surgeries have to be done in order to save people's lives and A LOT of even those very risky procedures turn out just like they are expected to...just fine. I have had 2 other surgeries in the past, gallbladder and ovarian cyst and I came through them with flying colors.I try to remember that whenever my mind starts trying to wander a bit too much into "anxiety land" and the 'what if's". If you need encouragement, I will be here to help you. Maybe you can help me here and there in times of weakness. We are doing something wonderful for bodies and minds by having this surgery. I'm tired of being fat and I'm ready to do something about it.And I know this is the tool that is going to help me achieve health,happiness, opportunity,and a NEW LIFE! Don't we deserve it?? So please don't let the small risks of having surgery hold you back from what you will achieve with the great BENEFITS from surgery!! you will be fine! hang in there! -
Now that I will have the money I need and can schedule my sleeve, I'm feeling the usual pangs of guilt for thinking of spending money on myself and not my family.Anyone else go though this?

Anyone having a sleev done Feb.2011 by Dr.Almanza or Dr. Kelly?(still deciding between the two)
-
hi there, you mentioned I could message you regarding your experience with Dr.Almanza. I've heard many many good things but also some not so good things.i.e.leaks,not seeing the pt again after surgery,maids changing dressings,non sterile OR,things like this. Maybe you could shed some light on the subject for me?
I plan on getting the sleeve Feb.2011 by either Almanza or Dr.Ramos Kelly.

12/03/10 Hi Sadie, I too am planning my sleeve with Dr.Kelly this coming February 2011. I've been hoping to find someone else using this surgeon as well. I haven't decided on the exact date as of yet, but maybe we could be "sleeve buddies". :-) Let me know what you think and I'll get back to you later (cause I'm at work but wanted to reply to your post) haha.
