Surgery is tomorrow! 12/1



Recommended Posts

and I am absolutely LOSING MY MIND. I'm so nervous that eating today is almost impossible, and I only slept for 2 hours last night. I'm terrified of the anesthesia, terrified of the surgery itself.. it's all I keep thinking about.

Tomorrow is a new beginning and it seems so surreal that it's actually happening.

I know a lot of others have their surgeries tomorrow, how is everyone holding up?!

I had my surgery November 16th . Do you have anyone to go with you for your surgery.

Yup! My mom is coming with me.

Good luck. Don't stress too much I was nervous but it wasn't bad at all.

What you are feeling is completely normal! Try to get some rest tonight (easier said that done, I know). Glad you have support. My mother in law went with me.

I'll hold a good thought for you. I'm sure you'll do fine. Anytime I have a medical procedure I try to remember that it feels like a monumentally huge deal to me, but for the nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgeons - this is what they do every day. This is what they know BEST and they'll take good care of you. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Thank you everyone! I'm definitely not going to be able to sleep tonight, but I'm not having a panic attack anymore so that's a plus. Just ready to to be on the other side of it now! :)

As soon as you can, after you arrive at hospital, ask if you can have a shot to calm you down. I mean a relaxant, not liquor Hahahaha. You will be fine!!

Mine is 12/2, so I'm right there with you Hun! I've been an emotional, terrified mess all week, but later this evening a calm came over me and now I'm thinking, "Let's do this!" You're going to do great! By this time next week we will be feeling much better and ready to begin our new lives! Good luck to you and let us know how you're doing! Prayers ~

      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! 😞
