Hi there...

I'm three days away from surgery. Scheduled for Monday the 27th and I woke up last night at 3:30am freaking out. I guess getting my final clearance made it all real for me and now I am starting to worry about " What if something happens to me ?? What will my hubby and daughter do ?? What if they don't give me enough anestheia and I feel the surgery??"

Am I being nutty ?? Did anyone else get super nervous the day before. My hubby works that day and I told him to go to work because why should he sit around a hospital all day when I won't wake up until after he's out of work. Now I don't think I can go into the OR without him there. I am kind of going nuts.

I've lost 14 pounds since beginning this whole procedure. I'm wondering if I am losing b/c i HAVE to in order to get the surgery or if I can do this on my own without any surgery. Is that the "cold feet" thinking again ? I mean I have tried dieting many times before and haven't crossed the 10 pound mark once. Now that I am I wonder if I am strong enough to go without the surgery. THEN last night I had potatoes ( OH YES those yummy white fluffy things) and gained back a pound !! REALLY ??

OK I am going through with the surgery... clinging to the hubby's hand... not sleeping for the next 3 nights... and worrying my tush off... ( Wish it was literally LOL)... I should make for one interesting wife/mom on a liquid diet for the next three days. LOL.

Take care all and thanks for listening.

Tomorrow is the day.

I feel my stomach is cramping

Obviously I am nervous

I was sleeved on Friday & home today. Im happy to answer any questions anyone would like to ask. Good luck for all the upcoming surgeries & speedy recovery to all xx

Any serious unbearable pain to worry about ?

I did feel pain like bruise pain if that makes sense but to be honest the gas pain is worse than the incision pain.

The bruise pain makes total sense. I keep hearing sore (like a thousand sit upset sore ) and the gas aftermass is the worst part. thanks for confirming that.

I been sleeved on Saturday 25

1 day post.

Omg .!! Gas pain is killing me.. not feeling good.

I have 5 days post op and I can tell it does get better. Hang in there and try to walk when you can. It does help.

My surgery is same day monday 27 too.

I am having cold feet. I am worried I am gonna be in pain, that I won't be able to eat at all, that something goes wrong. I dunno.

But then I think about all the reasons why I am having the operation and the result I am gonna get.

It is confusing really.

Hope we both have a speedy recovery

Good Luck today... I'm stalling going to bed because I know I will just twist and turn. BUT as you said... we are going to be healthier, happier and wonderful in about a month. As far as "pain" goes... i've been told you feel uncomfortable and sore more than pain. Your incisions and the stomach itself don't hurt but your belly feels like you've done a million sit ups b/c of the gas. Other than that you have little pain so far as I heard. And heck.. I think of it this way... I live with pain every day of my life for the past 10 years.. GIVE ME WHAT YOU GOT so I can live free of pain for the REST OF MY LIFE !!

Thinking of you...

Good luck to all of you who posted you are going in Monday or this week! You will be fine! Just take a deep breath and remember that when you wake up you will be on a journey to a whole new, happy, healthy you! Welcome to the Losers Bench!!

I can be a big baby when it comes to pain. My ob heard me yelling though the phone when I was in triage and in labor! Is there anything they can give you for the pain or do you just have to suck it up?

Don't worry, you get pain meds in the hospital. I was able to stop mine by the following morning, but everyone is different and they will take care of your needs. You will also be sent home with pain medication in case you still need it.

Oh, thanks for letting me know. One less thing to worry about!
