Hello! December 1 Surgery Date - Scared buy determined.....



Recommended Posts

After researching and scheduling the various pre-surgery appointments, I am a go for gastric sleeve surgery on Monday, December 1. I have a BMI of 60. I have never had any surgery before. I am fairly terrified of the surgery and possible complications but I had to do something. And I wasn't able to do it on my own.

I started my pre-op liquid diet on Monday. 2 weeks. I am starving and dealing with the mental issues of not eating. Or not eating what I want.

I have been hear a few times to read posts but this is my first post. I am glad I found it. My family and friends are being tremendously supportive but I don't think anybody can truly understand like somebody in the same boat. So thank you for having me in your boat!

While any surgery is scary, the alternative is scarier!

It's done laproscopically now, so it's less stress on your body.

This was only my 3rd surgery...gall bladder and hysterectomy previously...all within 5 years.

I was more excited than nervous when I was scheduled as I truly believed in my decsion and how my new tool would help me.

Very little problems (dehydration...but that was on me...but it wasn't severe)

The first few days of the pre-op liquid diet are the worst as your body de-toxes...but it should be easier and you get closer.

Also you can go to InsureNutrition.com to see if you qualify for Protein shakes, Vitamins and scar cream all covered by your insurance.

We are here to help you...but trust in the program! It is the best thing I EVER did for ME!

I was really nervous going into it too, and I had previously had two c-sections and my gall bladder removed. I had surgery last Thursday (11/13) and I was questioning my decision for the first couple days after, but not any more. I'm feeling more normal and looking forward to the months/years to come!!

      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.
