Surgery is 2 weeks from today....aaaahhhh!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled for 2 weeks from today and I'm getting REALLY nervous. I hope everything goes ok. I find myself praying alot and looking at my small children and hoping that I'm doing the right thing. Please tell me this is normal - I feel like I'm going crazy.

Follow your Dr.'s follow up advice and you'll do AWESOME! The sleeve is a great tool, but it comes with strict instructions to maximize it's purpose.

Can't wait to see you on the losers bench.

I think everyone is nervous about surgery, but it will be worth it. It so has been for me.

Mine is May 13, too. I know this is right. I'm freaked out, but that's normal. The nurse case manager says those that don't freak out are the ones they worry about! Think about living longer and healthier and more active for those kids and being there to see their kids! You can do it!

I can't say that you are not crazy, but I know I had more concerns about this surgery just pre-op than I have ever had, so understand. Maybe because it is really an elective surgery, to a point. Not elective when I consider that I have been overweight nearly my entire adult life, and I am 65. I look forward to being able to play and dance and hike more, and live longer! Keep your eye on the prize.

      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! 😞
