Tomorrow is my day!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled to be sleeved tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. I haven't been the least bit nervous until today. Now I am just a bundle of nerves. My head hurts, my shoulders are cramped and I am scared. I know I won't back out. I have come too far and want this too bad. I am just nervous.

I so know what you are going through. I fly out tomorrow night and my surgery is on Wednesday at 7:30 a.m.

I'm just trying to focus on all the good things coming for me!

You'll be ok, it's a normal reaction. . . this surgery was my 18th major surgery and with each and every one of them i was so nervous and scared. . . but as you can see, i'm still here and doing very, very, well! Your going to do really well too. . . it's not a bad surgery at all. . . you are going to be up and about the next day or like me the same day of surgery once i woke up. . . I really needed to get out of bed when i woke up. . . after all my legs didn't hurt did they now. . . so i walked out into the hallway and 1/2 way down and went back to bed, the next day thou, i walk 8 lengths of the hallway and by the evening was walking 12 lengths . . . felt really good. . . by the 3 day i was so ready to go home, and on the 5th day had no pains at all. . . you'll do great! just sip your fluids, do your walking, and think positive, be happy, you are starting a great journey now that can take you to much better things in life. . . good luck and i'll be thinking of you tomorrow! keep us posted! Mini-Me, this post goes for you too! You'll go great too. . . just walk and sip ok? Cheers

We'll all be pulling for you tomorrow, and keeping you in our thoughts. I think nerves are perfectly normal at this point, and you just have to go in with a positive mentality.

You'll do great, and we're saving you a seat on the loser's bench.

Loosing -

Your reaction is perfectly normal. I had the same reaction with knee surgery last month. Started to doubt if my knee "really hurt that bad". Take a deep breathe (or a couple). Everything will be fine. *hugs*. :biggrin0:

Loosing, you have lots of support and this week, there are a bunch of us getting sleeve and I'm sure we're all feeling the same way. Hang in there, you'll be back home in no time......

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
