Surgery Set For The 20Th ....nervous Wreck!



Recommended Posts

I remember asking the nurse in the room whether they spoke English ( surgery was in Mexico) when he said yes I said please make sure I wake back up. I woke up with hardly any pain and no complications. I am 6 weeks out now and doing great!

OMG! Me too! I just welled up over a car commercial! :-p I am scheduled for next Tuesday also - I don't know how I will handle this next week and my rollercoasting emotions! Is it the low carbs or is estrogen already seeping out of my cells? I wish I could spend this next week in bed with the covers pulled up. Lol.

OMG! That's exactly what I want to do. LOL. I'm almost at the point where I just want it done with.

I'm scheduled for Saturday. Also bundle of nerves but not about the pain. More about what if this doesn't work like the LAPBand. Totally unrational since there is so much proof on this board alone that it works. Stress sure does a number on your ability to reason!

I'm in the same boat as you. I had the band and am now getting the sleeve. I worry it won't work but all the positive feedback ont he forum has helped. I'm nervous as all can be for tomorrow but know that this is the right step.

Well I'm a little better...for now...that I just had my last appointment with my surgeon. He is so amazingly calming that I am more at ease now than before the appointment.

Good luck to those that are going tomorrow B)

I want to hear about how it went from all the people who went today. I wonder if anyone is ever really at peace before they go in. I think anxiety is just going to be a part of it. I want to hear from anyone that was 100% comfortable.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
