Recommended Posts

Hey guys, so tomorrow is my big day and all I want to do is cry today...I guess the nerves and relaity, excitment, anticipation, worry ect just wants to flow out of me....Support is much needed. I have never had surgery before and I guess the feeling of the unknown is the worst part of it...looking forward to hearing from you guys xoxoxo :)

First, I want to congratulate you on make the decision of a lifetime to become a "bandster". Second, I can totally relate to your nervousness. I have had many surgeries and I still was nervous. It is the fear of the unknown but you will be in excellent hands. Just think, you are making a very exciting change in your life so you are probably nervous about that as well. We are all here for you and hope to hear about your journey to come. Feel free to write me anytime. xoxoxo ~ Blessings ~

Hey honey! I know what you are feeling and I don't even have a surgery date yet! I just got my insurance approval last week and have a class to attend prior to setting a date. And I have been having all kinds of emotions since I found out it was approved, because it is real now...its really going to happen! I've done a ton of research and reading so I'm comfortable with the changes that are coming, but girl....I have never had surgery either, I've never even had an IV!!!! I'm not scared of needles or the surgery or anything like that...its just the unknown, it will get ya! But girl, you hang in there, this time tomorrow you'll be on the other side and you'll be able to come back and tell me how I just need to calm down that its not bad at all :) I wish I had more to share from experience but I'm still on "this" side of it all too, but wanted you to know that you aren't alone in the vast degrees of emotions you are feeling! Hang tight, you got this!!! Just think, the life you've always wanted is about to begin TOMORROW!?!?! how exciting is that? :D

I was SUPER nervous too! I just had my surgery this past Friday and I was freaking out. But, it went fine and I feel pretty good. It was my first surgery too! You'll do great!!

I was fine all up until they were about to wheel me in. I kid you not that I freaked out on my doc and almost got up and walked out. But I did it. For me and my pain tolerance level I thought the surgery was cake! Much better than I expected. It's natural to be nervous but you will be just fine! Congrats on the big day!

Hey guys so I an on the other side, not as bad as I thought!! ... Just feels like someone beat up my stomach but otherwise I am walking around, drinking Water and taking my Vitamins (chewable and dissolvable of course) The only concern is that I cant feel where my port is, but I am also very swollen...anyone else have this issue in the beginning?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
