Hi everyone, I'm sat in hospital waiting to go down for my sleeve, I had a lap and removed three weeks ago and recovered well, think it's last minute nerves in feeling and just going through so many emotions, asking myself "am I doing the right thing?"

The surgery is planned for 9pm tonight! So got about another 6 hrs to wait, think that's the hardest keep thinking chin up it will be over with soon.

Just think of it as finishing the process u started 3 weeks ago. You will have a new beginning, a fresh start! It's all a part of your journey to a better you.

Sending lifting thoughts your way!

Good luck!!

Thanks

Not having my op now till 10.30pm! Complications with the last one ????

Why would they tell you the last person had complications? Who tells a person waiting for the SAME surgery the person ahead of them that complications? Smh. I hope all went well and you are well on the way to a smooth ans quick recovery.

That's annoying that you have to sit there all day, rather than just relaxing at home or elsewhere... My surgery was at about 5pm and I thought that was late! Anyway - you will get through this day. Wishing you the best!

Still waiting! Been fasting since 9am exhausted now and it's 10pm is he going to able to keep his eyes open

Can you have a talk with the surgeon before he starts the surgery? I had a face to face with my surgeon about an hour before my surgery. You are anxious and understandably so. You are also probably exhausted by the lengthy process and delay. I know you don't want to postpone, but talk to your surgeon about your concerns. On the day of my surgery I was such a reck, I asked for a valium.

I've been the same all day a total mixture of emotions, they said it's not unreasonable for him to operate from 2pm till 2am and that's my biggest worry just been told there's 2 more people still before me... Just want to go home ????

I hope things are going better for you. Have a fast recovery. Walk when you can. Things do get better.

Ugh I'm so sorry you had to wait extra. I had the same prob. My surgery started at 1 but it was delayed untill 330 because the person before me had complications. BUT all went well. Might be a blessing in disguise because they will be extra careful with you. Best of luck!

Good luck you just have last minute nerves

I had my sleeve last Thursday and feeling good up and about just a little sore

Hi, well it's day 3 and still in hospital, I keep thinking I've made the worst decision but I think it's lack of sleep and emotions from not being able to take my anti depressants, feel like discharging myself! I just want to go home now ????

@julie1972. Hi, have you had your surgery? How are you doing today? So sorry the beginning of your journey has been stressful.

It's day 4 post surgery, and I'm feeling much better, think the first 3 days knock you for six! The drs progressed me to purée soup and a bit of ice-cream felt full quite quickly, I'm replying at 2.30am because I just can't sleep in hospital hence why I've felt crappy, hopefully home today
