It's almost here and don't know what to feel



Recommended Posts

Well what I have been waiting on is now upon me. I go to the hospital at 7am tomorrow morning to start anew. I don't know what these feelings I am have are about and if they are fear or anxiety about tomorrow. I don't know how I am going to get through the day and night. I start work at 12pm and get off at 8pm that really takes up the day but my mind is on the surgery and nothing else. I know I won't be able to sleep and will be up all night. My husband plans to park on the street so he does not have to pay for parking so that means I have to be at the hospital at 6 am so an hour of waiting to check in.

I know I am just over processing this and everything is going to be fine but I wish I could have just got the call at 5am tomorrow to just show up at 7 so I would not have all this time to think. I am really excited that its here and I will be joining the rest of the group on the other side. I have packed already due to the anxiety and wishing it was already here.

I want to say good luck and prayers to all my sleeve sisters and brothers who will be crossing to the post op side tomorrow.

Also good luck and prayers for those going in today.

What you're feeling is normal. I went from excited to nervous to scared and then back to excited. Keep your eye on the prize.

You sound like you have this all figured out so that's part of the battle. Best wishes to you and just think, you are at the starting line of a great new life!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
