I am afraid of having a stricture and getting food stuck.

My friends are not supportive of the surgery. One even said "you won't get any sympathy from me!" I need some support and reassurance. This is what I want but.......

.

You just have to beleive in yourself and that everything will be just fine. Follow all the directions to the letter and you should be fine! I am scheduled for Monday Aug. 4th as well. I am sure we all have the same fears. We just have to push through them. I have been very lucky to have my friends, family and co-workers cheer me on. But if they didn't it wouldn't matter to me because I am doing this for me and my health because I want to live a long life and that is what truely matters the most! Good luck!

The surgery can be scary and all support is welcome. I really loved being on Instagram in the days after surgery but then I didnt find this forum yet..... I did have some complications but had wonderful nurses and doctors who supported me and if you would ask me now... I would do it again! The first days may be painful but just do this for yourself, because YOU want it! It is soooo worth it.

yes , you may definitely loose friends, but this is about you, not them--you do what you need to do for you--onyl you know how you feel--

Thanks. Surgery went well. Came home Wednesday. I get exhausted from doing small things.

Casey 999 how are you feeling? I've been thinking of you.

Hi I'm feeling ok but extremely weak. Surgery went as it should. I still feel very weak. Had check up today and that was good. I can start eating soft food. Hope that helps. Thanks for asking
