Waaa! Complcations are scary!



Recommended Posts

I just made the mistake of reading about some

complications before bed... now I'm at an all-time anxiety high... So worried about clots since my flights are 6 hours long on my way home from Mexico. I knew about complications, but reading the testimonials is scary!!! omg... praying so hard for complication free.....

Danielle,

I read some scary stuff as well.....I had some anxiety for about a week. I'm so much calmer because I know I'm doing the right thing & I need this! Remember WHY you're doing this surgery in the 1st place!

When is your surgery? Mine is in June.

Omg. Yes. I made the mistake of freaking myself out by watching the procedure on YouTube. My current fear are blood clots as well! !! My surgery is may 6th!

You know the risks involved so i suggest you stop reading anything else scary. Especially at night even things are more scary!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
