My anxiety is going wild right now with only 24 hours left to go until surgery.

Here is my question for those who have already had surgery... What is something you didn't know before surgery that you wish you would have known?

These message boards really prepared me for surgery... My surgery has gone as they have said it would. The only thing I wish I would have paid more attention to is head hunger!!! It's killer and real!!! It will set you up for failure, so be strong!

You'll be fine and try to relax by maybe watching a movie or two. Something light and funny to try to calm your nerves.

My surgery went just like I was told it would. The only thing I wish is that I consumed more fluids then I did while in the hospital because I had to stay for four days for IV fluids. That was the only problem I had and it was me not the surgery that caused it.

I wish you the best of luck in this new chapter in your life.

No one told me that I would have far sight vision for a couple of days after getting out of anesthesia, thought I would have to go get bi-focals when I was discharged from the hospital.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
