Surgery in the morning



Recommended Posts

Hey folks my band to sleeve procedure is in the morning 12-5-2014 and my nerves and anxiety is at a all time high. So if you would everyone send me positive vibes that I don't die. Or get a infection or blood clot. I am a nervous wreck.

Good luck on your surgery. I had mine on Aprol first this year. Conversion from lap and to sleeve. I am 57 years old. Surgery went perfectly for me no complications good recovery. First week just felt weak until I could start my Protein Shakes. It truly is a life changing new beginning. I wish you well. All will be fine

Hey folks. My surgery was canceled due to my potassium being low and they could not get it above 3.0 so I have to be rescheduled.

Sorry Dustin hope you get rescheduled real soon. I had revision from band to sleeve 11/10/14 I am doing great. Try not to be nervous it's not as bad as the band was.

I'm scheduled for surgery in the morning. My nerves are still out of control. To be honest. I am mentally fried from all the highs and lows.

Try not to worry as you can see from this website it's the best decision we can make for ourselves. my doubts were just like yours and negative thoughts ran into the first day of surgery, but after that it has been really easy compared to the band I had. If we could have done this on our own we would have by now. God know we all tried multiply times. Relax feel comfortable with your decision to get healthy.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
