I've got my surgery date for 7-18-16. Nervous. Anyone else have a July surgery date scheduled?

July 25th

My surgery is tomorrow morning, I'm really nervous about this, I need something to calm my nerves. Any suggestions to help me would be greatly appreciated.

You can ask them to give you something for anxiety as soon as you get to the hospital @@Lmoore01

I had my pre-op testing yesterday, and the anesthesiologist told me they give you a "cocktail" to relax you when you get there, hopefully yours will be the same

UGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS SUCKS!!!!!!

I had VSG done Wed. July 13th @@Kaiser Richmond and I have had so much pain from the anesthesia gas and I've been walking like crazy. Dilottit every hr, with zofran for nausea. Its worth it for sure, but it sure has been difficult to get this gas out of my chest. Plus it took me forever to go pee for the first time!!!!! Aweful. I feel a bit better today, possibly from all the walking. But its hard to drink since my throat Is sooooo sore from the breathing tube.

Sorry to sound like a whining baby, lol, I know it's what I signed up for, just wanted to tell everyone how my experience is.

Can you post a link to the stomach brace/stomach binders you are talking about. Thanks.

I got this one, it gets good reviews, and feels sturdy yet comfortable when I tried It on. I just know that with my luck, I'll have to cough or sneeze like crazy after surgery, and I will need something to help it not hurt so bad.

Is this something that your doctor/hospital recommended getting or is it just from word of mouth?

The Nut recommended it in my class, but mostly from other bariatric patients recommendations

My surgery is July 26th. I am 2 days into my liquid diet. I have been so excited, but I am now starting to freak out. I'm a nervous person anyway, but now I am asking myself all of the questions and what ifs. I am terrified of the actual surgery and even more scared of making all the right decisions after. Any other worry warts out there and what are you doing?

Just got back from my first post op appointment. I'm down 24.5 pounds and got moved up to full liquids like protein shakes and such. In ten days (24th) I get to move up to purees! Also, got approved to start back swimming, gym cardio and aerobic classes! How is everyone doing today?
