Surgery on May 19. Getting nervous. Help!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys my surgery is on Thursday may 19th. A day out. However my birthday is on the 23, sort of a 20th birthday present. I'm ready to get my body in shape the way it should and try to control my PCOS. I'm getting really nervous,

Any support would be much appreciated and returned ❤️

Good Luck, I'm sure it will all go well. I wish I had surgery when I was younger. I've been morbidly obese since I was 21. Now I am finally getting this done at 44 after 20 years of dieting.

Not sure what you need to hear to help your nerves but I think you will be happy you did this.

Well I am just starting the process which is why I wasn't sure what to say to calm you since I haven't been though it yet myself. But based on all the stuff I read here, it should all turn out okay. I just think you will be glad that you are doing this now instead of much later in life.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
