Surgery Is On The 27Th And I'm So Stinking Nervous!



Recommended Posts

I have had 5 other major surgeries and I wasn't as afraid and nervous as I am to have this surgery. I am having a revision from band to Sleeve and my nerves are getting the best of me. I know this feeling is normal but man I think I need some anxiety pills just to get passed these next couple of days.

Yes! I had my Thanksgiving dinner on the 17th and it was yummy! Now I'm on the liquid diet it's not that bad except getting major headaches.

I understand completely, as I am heading for my sleeve at 07:00 tomorrow morning. I know that it's the right thing to do, but it does make you think.

I am sure it's just pre op nerves and all will be fine. I have been working on mine for 3 months (supervised diet) and the last 2 weeks on liquid.< /p>

As I have read on many threads this is a life choice, and I get motivation reading how well people are doing post op and how great they feel.

My hole hospital stay was 23hrs........... I hear a lot of people getting nauseous so that's why asked my doctor before hand..... So he gave me a patch..... And so far I haven't had any.....

I have just over two weeks until mine. I am terrified but excited. I'm going to Tijuana, which kinda adds to the whole overwhelming-ness of it all. I keep thinking I'll back out, but then I see the before and after shots...

Don't worry! It will be well with you if you've followed your instructions! I had mine last Wednesday the 20th...I did very well..I am so thankful! Now I am at my 5th post op day....doing pretty well....walked a bit too much today though, so I'm feeling it now. Been sipping broth, eating Jello, drinking warm milk and trying to get my fluids in (water)...it's a bit of a challenge, but I'm just talking it a day at a time....

U CAN DO THIS!

Sleeve was done by noon today, I just just had my first walk around. Yes there is some pain and discomfort, but no more than I expected.

The op took 2 hours and it took longer to get over the effects of the sedation than I would have wished.

I am now sitting up checking mail and seeing what happened in the world today.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
