Surgery is set for 8am tomorrow and I am having so many mixed emotions. Anyone else??

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm on EST, so it's 4:30am here and I have to be at the hospital at 12:30 today. I feel the same way. I can't sleep. What couple of hours that I did get in, I was having crazy dreams. Good Luck to you and speedy recovery.

Good luck to you too! And I guess if you're not sleeping now you definitely will be later today/ or at least you'll be knocked out.

I'm a few days post op and can't sleep myself cause I'm caught up reading about sleeve related things!

Thank you. How are you doing/feeling post op?

Day six and I've been approved to move to full liquids! Alls well! No probs, just need to get the hang of when I'm full without feeling too full!

Good luck! I had mine 12-27 and couldn't sleep night before. SO many thoughts going through my mind. Morning of...still so nervous. Rather emotional. I thought I would be skating in that hospital door like. "YEAH! FINALLY! Woo hoo!" But felt all the nerves and emotions. But it was good. And speaking as someone that had the band once upon a time (then had to have it removed due to erosion) this surgery experience was and the recovery (so far) has not been bad at all. I mean there have been some uncomfortable moments but nothing that I couldn't handle. All and all this is my (long and rambling) way of saying mixed emotions are completely normal and you will do so great!

Surgery went well. I just have been nauseous this whole time and it's hard for me to keep anything down. It just want to come back up. Even when it's little we're my lips get wet. The only thing that keeps me going is walking and sleeping. If I'm not asleep I just feel the tenderness, nauseous, and gas pains. I am having a lot more chest and shoulder pains then abdomen. Has anyone else had this problem? They said I might have to stay another night here

I have had gas problems in the past with laparoscopic surgeries but for some reason I lucked out and have not had any this time after the first 24 hours. They are the worse so I know I'm lucky.

I had my sleeve surgery yesterday evening. I think I'm going to have to stay another night due to the severe nausea. Besides that I'm able to get up and down and also as much as I want. I anticipate the rest of the healing recovery to go smoothly once this nausea/retching goes away.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
