Anyone else?

I have surgery in two weeks and, yes, I am nervous about the pain, adjusting to the new lifestyle, etc. But I will get through it. Good luck on your surgery!

Mine is in 8 days and I'm getting so nervous

It is normal to be nervous. Idea: meditate on something happy, such as an improved future life. That is helping me with my pre op fear.

I am excited no worries, I trust God he has our back so I ám confident that everything will b well. I pray for sleevers everyday. God bless all of us, this is best time of our lives, not many people in our situation will hve this opportunity not because they dont hve insurance or money to pay, but because they are not aware of the possibilities embrace the change. You will hve to do the work so what it was VERY hard work to be fat. Lol

Dont worry you'll do great! I had mine Monday and the only thing I'm dealing with is minimal soreness at the incision sites. I'm sure you've been told this by everyone on here but after surgery, walk as soon as possible! As soon as they put me in my room I got up and walked down the hall, then walked 2 more times that day and had no gas pains whatsoever! The pain is not so bad and they pump you full of painkillers you're asleep most of the time anyways! Good luck everyone, this is going to be so worth it! :)

I had surgery this past Monday. I was so nervous my nose was bleeding, and I was shaking. As soon as you check in, let the know you are nervous and would like something to help you calm down. I was given something almost immediately after I asked, and felt much better. As I am sure you have heard, walk as soon as you can and keep walking. I have not had the has pain, but I sure burp all the time. The first 3 days suck, but everyday improved tremendously after that. I am going to work tomorrow...one week after my surgery! You will be fine!

Thinking of you tomorrow! Best wishes

Can I suggest each one of your write down top 10 reasons of why you are getting surgery? This will help you with your resolve and fears.

I read my list over and over before surgery along with several times why I was losing weight to hit goal.

Wishing each of you the best of luck! Looking forward to reading your updates.

I have my surgery tomorrow at 7:30 am. I hate hospitals and am nervous, but i think something would be wrong with us if we weren't even the slightest bit nervous.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
