Recommended Posts

I'm having second thoughts I need some support i am scared to death I am going to die!!!! But I am young and should heal quickly!!!! I have been crying all day of the fear of the pain....nausea.....and blood clots!!!!!

Aww, I have moments like that, but you have to think about why though started this journey to begin with, what are the risks of you not having wls? I'm scared of dying too but, I'm scared more of not doing this and not having a good quality of life or being able to be an active participant in my life or my kids, and husband. You'll be ok. Just breathe and if you need to ask for some anxiety meds to calm you down a little. Good luck!

I too am still worried about blood clots....the thought terrifies me. As for the nausea, my surgeon prescribed a scopolamine patch for nausea. I have to put it behind my ear the night before surgery. I just keep telling myself it will be okay :)

I know what you mean!! I feel the same way!! TODAY especially because TOMORROW is surgery!! OMG I can't believe it's here!! I am unable to focus on anything else. My body doesn't hurt just cramping and I know it's because I'm nervous.

      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.
