Tomorrow is the day & I am nervous!



Recommended Posts

Well, the has finally come that I have both dreaded & welcomed. My surgery is tomorrow, the 22nd and I am a nervous wreck!! I want this, but am so afraid of all the complications that could arise. I keep thinking this should be easy since this is the second go around for me, but the sleeve wasn't as drastic and the RNY. I've seen so many success stories on here and I know the support is fantastic, but I am still apprehensive. I just hope I can keep it together at the hospital tomorrow and not break down. Thank goodness the hubby will be their to hold my hand. Okay, guess I will see everyone on the other side!

Good luck to you tomorrow. You might write down what you're looking forward to after surgery (being able to jog or run, shopping in the "regular" section of clothes stores, physical activity with family and friends). It sure helped me be less scared of my upcoming procedure.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR NERVOUS -- BUT IT SHOULD BE A BREEZE--- I HAD LAPROSCOPIC RNY AND I MADE SUER I GOT UP THAT DAY AND WALKED BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT ANY COMPLICATIONS THAT I COULD PREVENT, NO DVT, OR BREATHING PROBLEMS. SURE I WAS SORE FOR A WEEK OR SO , BUT I WAS ONLY OUT OF WORK ABOUT 9-DAYS ( I HAVE A DESK JOB) AND I RETURNED BACK . BUT I KEPE MOVING AT WORK. I DID EXACTLY WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID. THE HARD THING FOR ME WAS ME TRYING TO DRINK THE PROTEIN-- I WAS FORCING MYSELF BUT IT WASNT HAPPENING LIKE I SHOULD--BUT YOU JUST KEEP GOING--GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
