1 Day To Go And Not Feeling Well....



Recommended Posts

I go in tomorrow @ 7 to be banded surgery is @ 8. I feeling quite queasy right now. Normally things don't get me upset. I don't know if this nerves or one of my "episodes".

About once every 1.5-3 months I hit a weekend(yes always a weekend...?????) Usually a Sunday that I just get queasy. about 80% of the time I end up throwing up bile despite the fact I have been eating during the day. I just have to deal with it and try to get some promethazine down after and keep it down. By if I can do that I'm fine and its over.

I'm just hoping I can keep things together so I can have surgery. I don't want to stop my surgery or cause further complications... any suggestions????

Could it be your gall bladder? I had the same issues before I had my gall bladder removed. And my surgery is in the morning also.

Oh my girls! Good luck to you both! I think nerves get the best of all of us the day before surgery. Try deep breathing and/or go take a walk. Something relaxing. Stay focused on all the reasons you decided to get the band and know that it has been an excellent tool for so many of us. My life has certainly changed for the better.

Will keep you both in my prayers..... Hugs, Marg

I got my surgery this morning and last night I was crapping myself! I was SO nervous, I just kept thinking of the worst! I hardly slept and I felt like I was going to throw up. Now after surgery I really should have saved myself all that stress and worry because it really is how people say. In the operating room the doctor layed me on the table and injected me and said it was pain relief and I literally conked out, I was totally put for the count, next thing I woke up, didn't even know if I had surgery or not until I tried to wriggle in bed and felt some pain, they gave me morphine and I didn't feel a thing! I was just so happy it was over :) and now I'm not I'm much pain, I know it's hard not to worry.. But trust me, save your energy, these is NOTHING to fear, I've felt worse pain hitting my big toe off a chair haha :) best of luck pet.

When you arrive in the hospital tomorrow let them know you are anxious and they will give you something to relax before hand.

Good luck tomorrow and take a walk to make you tired.

I was banded the 7th and I was worried also. Looking back now this was a breeze. It's over so fast and you only on anesthesia for such a small amount of time. I pretty much woke right up. It's has been by far the easiest surgery I've ever had from a time standpoint. Good luck to you all tomorrow. Happy Band Day!

We all worried and it was scary right up until it's over. Then it's hard for a few days and then it's WONDERFUL. It's ok to be stressed but just take breaths and you'll get through it. You'll be so glad you did it!

No I already had mine removed 4.5 years ago its mellowing out a little. A few more things to pack and I'm ready. Baby steps taking it easy anything more than 15 minutes standing sets off my tummy again so its a little at a time, since I can only use 1 arm.

I go in tomorrow morning too and can't shake this anxious terrified feeling. I'm petrified that I won't wake up!! It has me so freaked out I hope I don't chicken out! GAHH

'

My surgery is this friday

I'm feeling the exact same way as you. But dont be worried about not waking up. I spoke to the anesthesiologist and he said that I have a bigger chance of getting hurt on the freeway then by going "under" (And i drive on the freeway every day!!)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
