Well...after all my pushing, hard work, and having to get a new date because if emergency gallbladder surgery, i got my date. Why am I not so freaking excited?? I'm scared. I really didn't want to have 2 surgeries. I have faith in my surgeon and his team, but I'm a huge wuss!! Anesthesia, again?!?! Ugh! I wish I wasn't so scared. I need to do this. I want it, I really really do. What's wrong with me? I just don't want to have worked this hard, and put all this money in and get there and decide not to do it. I'm kind of ranting but also looking for people who I can communicate with about my feeling & maybe hear your feelings and what you went through or are going through.

Thank you everyone!

Ali

In the same boat with ya!!!! I feel scared nervous,excited and all the other emotion that you speak of..lol . There is a lot unknown and you have to trust your surgeon that he is going to steer you in the right direction. yep sugery 2 times suck but hey the second time is the time you really wanted. I stay so mixed up inside all the time but I take a look at where I am and where I wanna go and all the confusion subsides. I want to be a healthier person, so I am closing my eyes and stepping into the unknown. It is a worth while endevor for me..

I think we all go through these feelings . It us no joke this is major and life changing so what your feeling is just part of it. I am scared to death to be going to Mexico to get my surgery so far away from my family. I just remind myself that it needs to be done and this is the only and push through my fear . I am going the 19 of February so we are going to be pretty close in there .

Hi everyone. . yes, we all go through these feelings. . this was my 18th MAJOR surgery and I was scared. . it's the anticipation of it I think. . but you know what? I am here today to tell you all about it. . .also I am very allergic to narcotics so I can't take pain medications except for Tylenol. . so I've learned how to divert the pain away. . .depending on your pain tolerance it may or may not be too bad. . . as long as you get up and walk and don't wait cause your too sore, and sip sip sip your Water or whatever they'll give you. . . trust me, I got up about 6 hours after surgery and i was walking those halls cause i didn't want the gas pains. . . it works. . . you'll all be ok, and in no time flat you'll be up here helping the newbies too. . . good luck, you all made excellent decisions. . . check out my ticker and i'm 1 year out now. .:)

      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.

      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!!
