Surgery in 1 1/2 days



Recommended Posts

You're ok!!! Think about what your life will be like if you DON'T have this surgery and your weight ruins your mobility and health....THAT'S something to be afraid of!

My recovery was so much easier than I anticipated, I regret being so afraid of the surgery for years. You can do this. And there's nothing wrong with asking your doctor for a little something for your nerves, give them a call.

It is normal to be scared and afraid of this surgery. It is a major surgery and life changing one.

I was in constant fear for a week pre-op.

Then the day came, I was given a nice relaxing cocktail of drugs, fell asleep, then had my op, and I was fine. Just bit of pain.

As gina mentioned, maybe you can get something for your nerves. Or have a massage, meditate etc

Good luck!

Never had a moments worry or thought about it. Until the night before. I called my kids out of school for the day. I needed to see them before and after the surgery. That was the only worry or thought I had. The oldest took them all back after I came back to the room- lol - they all had afternoon tests and wanted to get back!!! Such good kids I have lol

It's a lot to handle. You have been preparing for this for quite some time and mow its down to the wire. Perfectly natural to be apprehensive. I was a little the night before. But once I got to the hospital and things started happening it quickly went away. I am extremely happy with my decision and have been since day 1 post op.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
