I'm new to this app. I've been reading alot of posts over the last couple of days. Alot of good info. Right now im really nervous. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I have 3 kids. Ages 11,9, and 2. I'm so afraid of leaving them behind. I just want to wake up. I've been waiting for this for so long and now I just don't know...

Im definitely going to go thru with it. I pray I'm making the right decision. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes I felt the same way. Sending you courage. Have faith everything will be ok. See if they will give you a Valium prior to them wheeling you into surgery. I had Valium and it really relaxed me. I too was terrified.

Thank you. I will definitely ask for it. How was the pain?

It was tolerable. Your on strong meds. Nurses were always asking how my pain was, always ready to give more if needed. You are up and walking within 6 hrs. Force yourself to get up. The nurses helped me the first time to get out of bed and helped me walk but after that I did everything on my own. Just listen to what the nurses tell you. You will do great.
The pain was a 6 for me...childbirth and kidney stone were a 10 !

Rather than focusing on "what could go wrong" in relation to your surgery.... Instead, focus on the many obesity related health concerns your surgery will help to correct:)

It's easy to second guess yourself when you're in a stressful spot. Trust your saner self...the person who researched and worked hard to get here.

You're going to do great. Wishing you the best.

BZG24, just want to add my good wishes. I haven't had this surgery yet but have had 2 others in the past 15 months and neither added up to the dreading I had before. You are absolutely doing the right thing and your healthly future..Wake up, walk get liquids in and you'll be home soon with the kiddos. You've got,this my dear and I believe you'll be just fine.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
