Freaking Out About Todays Appointment



Recommended Posts

I have been up since 245...couldnt sleep at all. I see the surgeon for my second pre-op appt with Surgeon, my surgery is in 2 days. I have followed my liquid diet with only one cheat (a dinner biscuit) back on my first day. However, im panicking that surgeon will come up with some reason to postpone my surgery...ive read a few stories on here of people who have gone through the liquid diet, and for one reason or another the doc would postpone it.

she didnt give me a certain amount of weight to lose or anything, but i have lost a couple pounds, and I still have today and tomorrow of just liquids. So im not sure what she could possibly use as a reason to postpone it,,but i still cant help but worry. ugggh

I think being anxious is part of the process. My surgery is set for Thursday and I am also anxious. If I were you, I'd keep doing what your doing and maybe try to loose what you can...I can't help but think that it will help after the procedure is finished.

Don't worry...you'll do great and he/she will be so happy with your progress.

So i have lost anohter 6 lbs, down total of 13..Surgeon was verrry happy with that..i told her my concern, she felt around where my liver is and said she doesnt feel anything that would cause concern..said it is always possible it may be a little enlarged, but she has no reason to think it would be so bad that they cant do the surgery :D

between the good news with the numbers on the scale..and her telling me that...i am on cloud nine...Thursday cant get here fast enough.

      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!!
