Surgery 2/22....Scared and Excited



Recommended Posts

Surgery is set for 2/22 and I'm really nervous. I don't want to focus on all the negatives that could happen, but my anxiety is taking over....any other people out there feeling this way? :o

I think the majority of us 'sleevers' were nervous to some extent. I was actually fine and dandy and excited up until 2 days before hand. Then I got super nervous and anxious. I actually went and hugged my good friends and told them all how much I loved them (just in case of course lol). But the hospital told me I could take a xanax prior to showing up to calm my nerves and once they put me out, I woke up sleeved :) Nerves are normal but there isnt one thing I regret about getting sleeved except that I didnt do it sooner. Congrats to you! 10 days and youll be on the 'losers bench'.

I'm not nervous yet, but am sure I will be as the big day gets closer. Right now I am in insurance limbo. If they come back with my approval I could be sleeved as soon as March 5th. I need this so bad that all I have done is syke ,myself up for he big day.

Congrats to you Bunny for the awesome job so far. The rest of us will be with you shortly. :-)

I'm scheduled for 2/26 and feel the same way. Excited but nervous! It's a big lifestyle change. Hang in there, I'm sure our nervousness is all for nothing :)

Hi, my surgery is 2/20 and I'm getting so nervous about it too. I'm so afraid something will go wrong or that I won't be able to lose the weight. I have a million thoughts running wild in my head. Like others have said, I think it is normal. Good luck to you,and me on our new journey.

I was nervous up until the time I was put under.... Then afterwords a little depressed. I never realized how much food had been a part of my life till after the surgery. So I had some ups and downs the first week afterwords..... I am definitely getting better though and I am very glad I did it. I think we all go through pre-jitters when opting for any type of permanent surgery.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
