Sitting in waiting room, slightly freaking out



Recommended Posts

Try not to be scared people. It is but a small moment in time with a little bit of interim discomfort, which will lead you to a better, happier and longer life. Besides, you get lots of legal, free drugs to keep you all warm and comfy! Free drugs! Yay! it'll be like going back to your student days!

Hang in there, folks, you'll be fabulous and it will be fabulous. Let us know how you get on - we'll be thinking of you :) x

DreamBig,

I was in your spot 2 days ago. Anxious, nervous, and excited all wrapped together. My surgery was to start at 10:15, then I got pushed back due to a trauma emergency. It made my day even longer. Hang in there, don't be afraid to take pain meds and try to walk. Prayers for everyone who are making these decisions everyday.

Hang in there - these nerves are normal. I also waited by myself (3 hours), and wanted to leave a time or two, but didn't and it was the best decision EVER. It will be over before you know it and all will be well. :)

      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!!
