I'm scheduled to go in less than an hour and I'm super nervous and scared. I gave my son a big hug today, he's three so I don't expect him to understand. I need encouragement please!!!!

You've got this.

Everyone that goes in is nervous. Very normal to feel that way.

All I can say is that 7 days ago I was going in, too.

The recovery has been great and I feel really good.

I know now that it was the best decision I could have made.

Getting this surgery and losing this weight and maintaining it will help me be a better father, husband, son, brother, uncle, employee, church member, friend.........better in everything I do.

You'll do great. Keep your head up and keep making progress.

Get up and walking when they tell you to do so. It'll make your healing speed up and you'll feel better every time you do it.

ENCOURAGEMENT ENCOURAGEMENT and more ENCOURAGEMENT

i can relate to your feelings

i "might" be one of the few people that was not very nervous the months prior to WLS

but............the morning of surgery, and in the hospital

i was on pins and needles

i'm "sure" that you have done all your homework, reading, learning, right ;)

you are ready as you can be

big breath in

blow it out

I said blow it out !!! NOW

you are turning blue!! :o

before you know it you will be relaxed, ready to go to sleep

take a nap while "they" work on you

sweet dreams

my new and improved crystal ball sees a healthier, happier, longer life :rolleyes:

who deserves it more!!

good luck

speedy recovery

      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! 😞
