I am a bundle of nerves, I have a date for surgery!



Recommended Posts

I am so nervous, but excited at the same time. I got a phone asking what surgery did I want. I decided to have the sleeve.

I was given a date to talk to the surgeon on April 16th to be sure I have all my information I may need to have.

Then I also have a date surgery! It is scheduled for April 28th.

Is there any questions you can think of that I should ask the surgeon?

Congrats! It's great to finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. I was going crazy not knowing when my surgery was. This will allow you all the time you need to better prepare yourself mentally and physically. Keep losing weight as you will want to have your liver shrink, even if only a little, before surgery. Keep reading these boards and educate yourself as much as possible. But best of all, think of all the things you will get to do and how you will feel after dropping your weight! No negative thoughts!

So exciting! Congrats!

Couldn't have said it better. Just make sure you have a clear understanding of your roll in the first few post op weeks. You'll do great

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
