Really nervous about tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I use to have a lot of issues with my band, as we all possibly did. But one of the biggest issues is if I waited to long to eat I would have pains in the area where my band was. It would be so bad sometimes that I would have to take a pain pill. It would also happen at times when I wasn't hungry.

So I have really had a hard time with not eating, because I first I feel like I'm becoming sick to my stomach, then the pains some. I wish I had thought to have them to remove all the Fluid from the band last week at my Dr's visit. I am so scared about tomorrow. I honestly cheated during my pre-op, but it's a while nothing thing to eat before someone opens your stomach.

I'm also a therapist, and I couldn't take the day off. So tomorrow is gonna be super busy. I have to find the time to drink broth or tea. Cause I know I will need something hot. Please keep me in your prayers yall. I have been thinking about this day for the last 2 weeks. So scared.

My surgery was on July 28. I won't lie. The worst part of the revision was the pain where the port was. Remember, it was supposed to be a permanent fixture so taking it out causes a lot of stress on the body. Otherwise, the whole surgery was a piece of cake. I'd do it again tomorrow if I had to do it over again! Be encouraged. Your future has a much brighter outlook beginnig tomorrow!

aloudwhisper Are you revising to a sleeve? or just removing it? Good luck either way seems like you will be happy to get rid of your band.

Embrace not what I want to hear weeks before my revision from band to sleeve but I will be prepared.

You'll be fine if you're careful. It was an area about the size of a fist that hurt like a son of gun for more than a week if I moved the wrong way. Otherwise, I swear, Jake it was the easiest thing. Good luck!

I guess my post was not clear. Sorry. I am going from Band to Sleeve. Today is all clears. I am becoming more positive. I know that God is in control.

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

      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! 😞
