Packing and ready



Recommended Posts

ok--so I leave for Tijuana in the morning--I am currently packing--I thought I had calmed down a little for the last week from all the nerves, but the nerves are back!!!! I have spent the day with my elderly mom--and now I am thinking things like how much she needs me--and things like that--oh man--if I hadn't already paid...

Anyway, I am leaving tomorrow--surgery is first thing Thursday morning--pray for my nerves to settle down a bit--talk to ya'll when I get back

You will do great! Let us know you're up and about when you feel like it. I slept most of the first two days and couldn't have formed a coherent sentence if you'd paid me.

Oh! I remember those pre-surgery jitters! They were horrible! I didn't sleep at all the night before and I was so tired the morning of surgery. I kept thinking about all the reasons to not have it done and I was scared.

When I woke up from surgery, I was amazed that I didn't have much pain. In fact, it was more discomfort than anything. It only took me a little while to realize that I had nothing to fear, but fear itself and I haven't looked back since!

I wish you the very best and hope that you have a speedy recovery! Enjoy your time while recovering because before you know it, you will have so much energy that you won't want to sit still for long! Keep us all posted!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
