Surgery Tomorrow - Have a Question

Good morning everyone,

I am super nervous as I anticipated I would be with questions like what am I doing? Why did I decide this? An implant in me forever! Then the other side is calmer with - you got this! This will be the best decision ever! And I'm bringing my sexy back!

So with all these emotions I have had headaches over the weekend. I took some BC powder yesterday and reread my checklist of pre and post op instructions and I messed up by taking the BC. I should not have taken anything like that 5 days prior. I will certainly tell the surgeon tomorrow and just wondering how much that would screw things up. Thanks for any input, I appreciate this forum!

I have my surgery tomorrow too (sleeve) and I am a nervous wreck!! I can't wait to finally be able to lose the weight, but at the same time any surgery can be a scary thing. I think I am more nervous about the after surgery recovery. I have heard it from all spectrum. People who haven't had any problems and others with pretty bad pain. I have been on my pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks, been preparing for this since January. Now that it is here, I am a mess!! :( We got this!! We are finally getting a new healthier self! I am not sure about your med situation. I would just call your doctor and ask them.

Hope everything works out ok, Congrats on your surgery and decision, and Good luck!! Hope you have an amazing, comfortable recovery!!!

Nsaids thin your blood but I doubt one would have any affect.

Personally I would call your doctor just to make sure, but I do not think it will bother anything. Good luck with your new journey!

Best Wishes to you too BrandyV! I wish you the same! I hope the pre-op was the worst because I got so hangry (hunger + anger) :D

Come back and let us know how you are doing after your surgery!

I feel your pain or stress as it may be. I am also scheduled for tomorrow and have been questioning everything I have done so far. I cried twice today because I am afraid I forgot something. It doesn't help that my daughter, 10 yeas old, broke her wrist on Sunday and we spent the day trying to get her into an orthopedist because I know I will be out of commission for a little bit. She us such a trooper! I have to try and model myself on her. Together we will get through this. Good luck to everyone! Will keep good thoughts for all of you!

Good luck to you tomorrow! Be strong, have faith, and be excited of the change!

I too am scheduled tomorrow at 9am! Good luck to everyone else! Xoxoxo

Congratulations!!! Good luck!!

Best wishes all of you -- I was so excited and nervous as all get-out. Honestly, I can't even really recall those early days. I took my sense of humor with me to the hospital. I had never been an overnight patient and I'm 52. It was all so much better than I thought. And I was getting what I wanted -- a choice for myself and my healthy future. To this day, I am thrilled. Life reclaimed. You are all on your way -- good luck! It will be better than fine!
