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. :-)

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
