Alas as I sit here and wait for my "call up" to active duty in the BARIATRIC WARS I have time to listen and ponder many things.One hmnn thing: the little last minute worries we come up with.
One lady was concerned they would be removing her patient gown in the operating room,not for modesty sake, although that still
might have some bearing, she was concerned she would be cold and her surgery would be postponed because of goosebumps.
Another was concerned she might start talking about past boyfriends or confess petty thievery while semi-awake.
Although I am not overly thrilled that 6-10 more people in Columbus will know whether I am a natural redhead or not, the fact they are going to make 5-7 holes in my tummy like a. demented woodpecker on speed, I'll even put up will that to have my surgery done.
Do you have any silly or irrational fears about your surgery? it's okay, you're among friends here

WOW!! I thought I was the only one that would ever worry about bringing up past boyfriends while loopy!! haha! I can't even begin to wonder why that even crossed my mind but sure enough it did!! Plus I don't wanna be gassy in front of current sweetheart! No way on that one!!

I am also terrified that I will come back to work and have stomach issues (dumping) and won't make it to the bathroom on time!! I will be terrified to even try to eat anything while I am there for fear of it!

And I still fear at the last minute someone will,tell me Frust8,we have decided it will be called off. Until they put the anesthesia over my fact,i won't relax and I know,mentally,i should but emotionally I'm scared.?

I keep having this recurring feeling that WLS is going to happen and then when I wake up my surgeon tells me that I have something anatomically wrong with my stomach and that I despite having my sleeve, I will not lose any weight. [emoji20]
