I have been put out so many times and I must say, I enjoy it.lol

One minute you're there and the next your waking up in recovery. Like a blink of an eye!

Being scared, nervous and crying is also normal. You wouldn't be human, if you weren't a little nervous.

Good news is, the Drs and nurses are professionals and they take pride in keeping you alive.

Now try and relax and think of the new and improved you.

Its going to be awesome!

I felt the same way. Had a panic attack 20 mins before surgery and had to reschedule. When I did have the procedure, I was so angry with myself for getting worked up over nothing. Just stay calm relax, keep thinking about being on the other side. Pray to the god you serve and allow him to move mountains for you. It will be like having the best nap ever!!!!!!!

Awwww, sweetie, I know this can be a scary thing if you've never been put down before. I was actually scared because I WASN'T scared (I never am when going under) Focus on how your life is going to change for the better, and if you're a believer, have faith, The Lord will see you through! We will all be here waiting to hear about your experience. Be blessed and be still.

Well at first when I was getting prepped, about 10-15 minutes before surgery they gave me a "happy shot". Whatever it was, made me super relaxed similar to laughing gas, without all the laughing lol. I felt like I was floating, I barely remember being wheeled into the OR, and the next thing you know I woke up sitting up in a comfy chair with my dress on, under a blanket, with my Mom sitting there with me. You'll be fine!

Girl you have nothing to worry about. I've had surgery a few times and the best part of it is being put to sleep! La-la land is no place to fear, at all...I like it. LOL It's easy to see how Michael Jackson became addicted to it, seriously.

Now, happy thoughts...enjoy the process because when you get home and the hospital drugs wear off, you'll wish you had more. LOL

I've never had surgery before so I'm pretty scared. I guess you have to meditate before you go. Take deep breaths. Hope I don't have a panic attack

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
