Why Do I Feel So Nervous And Excited At The Same Time?!



Recommended Posts

One moment I'm excited the next I'm scared ...... I'm like what am I getting into! Is this normal??

Yes it is very normal. It's the sense of change that makes you feel this way.

I feel exactly the same way...these past few months have flown by & now it seems like the time until my surgery is both moving too fast and too slow! Very weird feeling.

It's normal.... I promise you those feelings will disappear when you are on the other side.

As you can see, VERY normal. We've all been there, and go back & forth often.

It'll be an interesting journey, but you know what, also very worth while :)

This is normal, you are ready to change your life in a big way. And being excited about your journey is half the fun.

You'll do great as long as you follow Drs orders.

Best wishes to you!

I was doing alright until another poster (with good intentions) wrote to me this week and ended with a statement "now don't get discouraged if you don't get approved for the surgery the first time".

I had never considered I would not be approved! This was like a blow to my heart! Both my doctor and my surgeon are very confident there will not be a problem with approval, however I realized my feelings are pretty fragile right now. I was not aware of just how much I want and need this surgery until a doubt was raised.

It gives me hope. Hope I've not had in a long, long time.

What people need to learn is listen to your surgical team, not someone from this forum. We can give opinions & advice but when it comes down to it, it's your Dr and staff you need to listen to.

Best Wishes on your journey!

Me also, I get really excited, butterflies the lot when I think it will only be a few weeks away...then a twang of fear creeps in! I suppose I am more worried about waking up in pain afterwards, also the fact I have told no-one so worried about coping alone, i really dont want to make silly mistakes!!! :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
