Surgery tomorrow



Recommended Posts

OMG my surgery is tomorrow and I'm starting to panic. I've been fine up until today, then I got my arrival time and I lost it all. Anyone else experience this?

Congratulations! We're all here to minimize your panic :) I felt a mixture of second guessing and pure joy that it was finally happening.

It might help to write down exactly WHY you're having surgery. You know the reasons already but seeing it in black and white can really help. Examples: I want to play with my kids/grandkids without gasping for breath, I want to fit into my skinny clothes, I want to live a longer and healthier life, etc. I'm sure your reasons will outweigh (no pun intended!) your fears.

I felt the same way, the day before my surgery. But when I thought of the reason way I decided to take this journey, all of my fears went away.

You will be just fine.

I'm with you! Going tomorrow too.. I have to be at the hospital at 6, surgery is at 8. I am a mess right now. I'm super happy and ready for my new life to begin, but I'm am a little scared. My coworkes bought me all kinds of goodies and even stuff for my youngest daughters do do while in the waiting room. See you on the losers bench!!

Tomorrow is my surgery date too! I'm very excited but very nervous now and can't sleep! I'm also so afraid because I've been eating really poorly for the past week. I know a lot of people talk about what they were having for their "last meal" before surgery. But no.. I really blew it for the whole week. Bad. I ate everything I love and lots of it. Dang it!! I pray I won't be heavier than I started out as. I really do want this.. I don't know why I went crazy last week. I had done so well right up till this last week or so. Then BAM. Blew it. I feel so stupid to have done that now.

SullyB.. how are you holding up? I am still a little sore at all of my incisions, and can't sleep well at all due to not being able to get comfy :( I am taking about 2 oz per meal, and am getting in about 40oz of Water, plus tea. I've also decided that I don't like food the way I use to. I can't wait to find something I like to eat :) Hope you are doing well!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
