Hi all,

My surgery is 5 weeks away and I'm getting pretty nervous and I'm not sure why.....

I've had a few major surgeries in the belly region, with big incisions and I did really good.

I think the 2 things I'm most nervous about is the drug induced nap (me and anesthesia don't get along). I throw up every time and they give me way to much, based on my weight.....And getting all my Water in.....

I'm pretty sure I'll be asking for a nice cocktail of something to calm my nerves the day of..

Good luck to you. I'm sure I'll be losing my sh_t 3 days before surgery.

I'm scheduled next Monday and I'm feeling the same. I scheduled my midterms this week and work is insane so that's keeping me from obsessing right now but I know Saturday I'll be freaking out lmao

My surgery is in December and I'm trying to work around finals and end of year stuff at work. Gah! I totally get what you are saying and I'll be in the same boat in a month and a half.

Hi there, my surgery is two weeks away and I don't do well with anesthesia either. I was told at my visit with anesthesia that they will give me something for nerves before I even go into the operating suite. That calmed me down. Maybe you could ask if they can give you something too. Oh, and they give either zofran or promethazine before you go in for surgery too. You will do great!! I'm happy for you!!

      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!!
