Scared to death.....



Recommended Posts

I was really scared but the thought of carrying around this weight overrode my fear. I kept coming to the boards and saw very few complications. I had my worries until the day of surgery. But I went through with it!im so happy I did!

I am going thru the same thing. My fear is dying. I say this as I sit and eat my Jello, 7 days pre-op. My husband told me he was scared I was going to die too. SO there we sat last night staring into space with eyes the size of saucers. Focus on the positive. If they were worried about your heart then you would NOT be cleared! They don't want Malpractice suit!

I plan on asking for a MAJOR sedative as soon as I get to the Hospital. The weight WILL kill us. With all that said I am currently crapping my size 22 pants EVEYDAY! But I am going to try not to chicken out!

I had every one of those fears lol are we related???? Anyway, you are perfectly normal to have these thoughts. I have a heart murmur and HTN. I survived mostly pain free! Sore muscles is all around incisions.

I too felt surgery didn't work, but I am a slow loser. I've lost 26 pounds since 9/15. Good luck. You'll do great!!!

Oh I asked my husband at least 5 times prior to surgery if I was going to die. I think the first things said was "I didn't die!"

I had the same thoughts. I did my will before my surgery, just in case. My husband was also worried. I was sleeved on Monday 12/1. Everything went very well. I came home yesterday and I'm doing OK. I walked my daughter to the bus this morning. Then I took a nap. Coughing and sneezing is really painful, but so far I'm not needing the pain killers. I'm saving them.

I'm just as scared, but more about failing then not waking up. Trust your Doctors know your conditions and if they feel you can tolerate this surgery, then you can. When ever I get myself worked up over anything, I just have to remind myself that literally, 1000's of people have done this before me and they are ok-so chances are, I will be too. It helps me not let the nerves take over!

Good luck

      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.
