Got Approved today but now I am nervous!



Recommended Posts

So I got a call from the surgery coordinator telling me I was approved. After 6 long months, so many different appointments and a mixture of emotions.. I am approved. I scheduled my surgery for February 14th.. It's ok because I don't have a Valentine but I'm sure I will have plenty after the procedure????. Now I need some if you inspirational people to convince me that everything will be ok and that this is a great decision.... Helllppp

It is great that you were approved! If this surgery is what YOU want, then you are making the right decision! If you have a husband and child, then their concerns should be thought out, but overall, you need to decide if it is right for you! So, good luck! Make sure to keep us posted!

Congrats on your approval! I received mine a few weeks ago. I'm scheduled for surgery January 30th and Wednesday when I started the pre-op diet it hit me as well. I've thought about this surgery a million times and am confident in my decision but as it gets closer (after such a long process!) I think it is natural to be nervous and be doubting yourself. Just rely on whatever motivated you through all the pre-op appointments!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
