Weird Pre-Surgery Jitters



Recommended Posts

Idk if you want to know all if this but I've worked in an OR before. Most of laparoscopic surgeries the patient is already positioned and draped head to toe by the nurses before the doctor comes in to the room. The drape has to be there before they can start an the docs usually just talk to each other in the hallways while the nurses, techs, and anesthesiologist are setting up. And they don't care. They see naked bodies every day. Just wait till your one year follow up and then you can wow him!

My jitters were not what I would look like on the table, but what I would say on my way under. I had surgery on my knee a couple years ago and I was awake in the OR while they were getting me situated. They gave me the iv stuff that starts the process as they were strapping my arm down and I blurted out "I'm being tied down to a table in a room full of hot doctors and i'm not going to be awake to enjoy it!" The last thing I remember was seeing my doctor who looks like a sweet old Grandpa. I was so embarrassed when I woke up and found out it really happened!! The nurse was trying to assure me it was no big deal. Lol!!

My surgery is Aug 15th too. I will tell you as a nurse, I have seen LOTS of naked bodies, and you really don't remember them afterwards... unless they are VERY unique... tatoos, piercings, unusual scars, so, I wouldn't worry about it.... :wub:

THAT SAID, I do have to say that I feel that my beautiful body is VERY UNIQUE to ME!! :P :ph34r:

And I have a georgous Doctor as well and I really don't want to see how Unique I am!! I keep having to remind myself that I am beautiful on the inside and it really only matters to my beautiful husband!! :D:rolleyes::D

Best of LUCK!!! Lets keep in touch!!

I have 11 tats, lol. And luckily I know they are looking rubenesque bodies all the time so they are used to it. But I also know that fat or skinny...we are beautiful people inside and out.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
