When did everyone get nervous?



Recommended Posts

I'm 19 days from surgery day and everyone asked if I'm nervous, answer is I'm not. I look at my pics of how I look now and I get excited to have this done. Do you think my feelings will change and I'll get scared???

We are all different.

I'm not at the panic attack phase...but when reality sets in that the 29th (my op day) I get a bit scared.

I wonder if I'm doing the right thing, but quickly remember how despondent I feel after every failed diet. How miserable I am when I can't partake in any social occasions and how unhealthy I feel all the time. Not to mention how this weight exacerbates my conditions.

I guess more than anything else..."death"...I don't want to leave those I love so much.

Deep....lol

Good luck with your journey to the "losers bench"...

Xx

Keep me posted on how you are doing. We're pretty close in dates of surgery. I'm just excited to start on a new me. I'm sure once I get to the night before the surgery I'll for sure be anxious. Lol

I got scared the night before... I started thinking of all the what ifs and probably slept about 2hours. But it is and WILL BE all worth it. I am 5 weeks out now, and down 31lbs. I am having a wonderful experience so far. Wish u the best!

You may, or may not. I didn't get worried about the surgery at all. My only worry was that I might get turned down for approval. Once I was approved I worried about getting sick and not being able to have the surgery. It was all sort of surreal until I made it to the losing side. I looked forward to getting it done. :-)

      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!
