Nervous Belly 2 Weeks Before Surgery

I am two weeks away from my surgery date and have a sour stomach and diarrhea. Is this just happening because I'm nervous or could something be wrong? Has anyone else had tummy issues leading up to the surgery?

I am right there with you. My surgery date is July 23 and I am a bundle of nerves. My stomach has been upset for a week and I just started the pre-op diet so it is a bit worse today.

I talked to a nurse today and she said that it was normal to be nervous and to call if I get so anxious I can't function in my daily life.

Hang in there--these two weeks will fly by and we will begin to see the benefits soon.

Thanks Texarkolina,

I was worried it was just me and that something was wrong. I am a bunch of nerves and starting my liquid diet tomorrow, I'm sure will only make it worst. I am sure the time will fly by and cant wait for the benefits.

You two are not alone, I'm scheduled for the 23rd as well and I just can't stop thanking about it, my stomach is all in knots, but I know that we will be fine!! I will definitely put you ladies in my prayers!! Good Luck, remember we can do this!!! :)
