Surgery date February 19th! OMG! Happy and scared



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am nervous,excited,scared, optimistic,hopeful and everything in between.Two Georgia natives whom i communicate with were sleeved on the Feb.12th and i missed that boat.They had a good experience and said i'll be in good hands.I so badly want to be slimmer.i've been reading all the sucesss stories and i want to be successful.One of my biggest fears is ongoing nausea and vomitting that some sleevers experience.I have been praying and asking God to give me a sign if i shouldnt proceed, and everything has been smooth sailing.I'm so looking forward to being able to have a steady weight at some point, and not gaining weight weekly with every bite of food.Thanks to everyone on the board for all your inspiring stories and motivation and mostly your support.

MellaElla, we're all scooting over for on the loser's bench. It really is a wonderful place to be, and living life for the first time.

I'll be keeping you in my prayers and thoughts for an uneventful surgery, and smooth recovery. If you need anything, we're here for you. Stay strong, and lean on us and your faith.

What she said! You'll be fine, and if there is nausea, they've got stuff for that. Four more days for you, how exciting!

Congrats on your up coming surgery. I had mine three weeks ago today

and did not have any problems other than the day after surgery. They gave

me meds so I never got sick just felt like I was going to a couple of times.

Keys Pirate had hers the same day and she did have some problems with

sickness due to the meds used during surgery. If you are worried I would ask

your Doctor ahead of time to give you the preventive meds to ease your mind.

I hope everything goes great for you, I know you will love being on the loser's

bench. My thoughts and prayers will be with you on Friday.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
