Good morning everyone! I am scheduled to be sleeved THIS FRIDAY!!! Yikes! As excited as I have been throughout this entire process just this morning thinking about how close I actually am has me questioning my decision to go through with it. :( I have never had ANY type of surgery & fear I may be putting myself through unnecessary trauma. I also begin to fear it won't work for me. Up until this point I have been nothing but happy & excited' date=' now I fear I've done all this & it may end up being for nothing. I mean, I'm no fan of pain & I know there will be some physical pain & discomfort after surgery but if I don't go through with it, I'll still have to deal with the emotional pain I've been dealing with. Smh... Is this normal or am I just tripping? I mean seriously[/quote']

It is normal, I was the same way. Never had surgery before, until I was sleeved on June 11. As long as you follow your surgeon's instructions pre and post op, you'll do great! You've made it this far, no sense turning back now!

I am feeling the same way, I think it's completely normal. My surgery is wednesday. I have had surgery before but nothing elective like this, all the others were necessary. You will do great! Good luck!

I asked my husband every day for two weeks before surgery, "Scott is this really what I should do?". Let me tell you, yes! I'm on day 6. I started at 203 and today I am 179!!! I've tried losing weight and I am never successful. I'm only 5'1 so 203 was a lot on my little body. I'm hardly in any pain right now. I can't feel any of my incisions except the larger one on my left side. It's just uncomfortable. You will be ok. Praying for you!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
