Got my approval and NERVOUS!



Recommended Posts

So today I got my approval for surgery! Surgery date is Sept 16th.. I'm so excited and nervous all at the same time. I've never had surgery before and I've never been under anesthesia. (Which is what I'm more worried about) how did everyone deal with there nerves?

Congrats! I wasn't nervous at all, actually thought there was something wrong with me because I wasn't nervous. I knew I was making the right decision, and am so glad that I did it. Good luck to you, you'll get past the nerves and be on the loser's bench soon!

Congratulations on the surgery date! And anesthesia is not bad at all. I had to go under for my gall bladder. They told me to count backward from ten and I don't remember getting past 6.

I didn't get nervous until that morning. When I was in the pre-op room, the nurse came in to tell me they were taking me. As she was talking she giggled and said that the anesthesiologist (who i had already met and didn't see follow her in) just gave me a dose to put me under.

Turns out he saw how nervous I was and did an awesome thing because I don't have to let my mind do the "what if" thing all the way to the OR...I don't remember leaving my sister on the room, lol!

I am positive you will do amazing. Just follow the directions to the hilt...trust the Dr. and the plan!

      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! 😞
