Surgery is tomorrow! 12/1

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?!

  • 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!!

    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

I'm out of surgery and everything went really well!

The gas pain is nooooo joke, but the pain from the surgery itself is minimal. Not up and walking around just yet but they said they'd get me up and moving a little later.

I can't believe I did it!!

Great! I'm so happy for you! I'll follow your post- my surgery should be scheduled by March. I go tomorrow for the endoscopy.

Keep us posted,

Thank you! The endoscopy is a piece of cake! Good luck on your journey, it goes by fast :)

Im am comforted by your news of your surgery gone well. I have my surgery on 12 14. i am on a pre liquid diet currently. It is close enough I can taste it. I am excited, nervous and scared to death at the same time. Your post has calmed my nerves for the moment at least. Congratulations!

Glad to hear that! I was VERY scared the last few days and had to do everything in my power not to back out. This morning I was anxious but once they brought me in to get prepped and got to talk to all of the nurses I felt much more at ease.

As long as I keep pressing my button for my pain meds I feel pretty great!

Good luck to you, it'll be here before you know it :)

Best wishes. Would love t hear from u post op.

@@tmcx28 - how are your feeling today?

Happy Belated Re-Birthday!

Thank you! Today I'm pretty nauseous, I think it may have to do with the fact that I haven't eaten or drank anything since Monday night. Really looking forward to sipping some Water in the morning! Pain is pretty minimal, my back hurts more from the hospital bed than anything!

Glad everything went well. I was sleeved on 11/20 and am doing much better now. Pain was minimal, but nausea kicked my butt for a solid week.

Good luck on your journey!!!

Congratulations and speedy recovery! I am sure you will do great :)
