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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
