Last minute pre surgery worries?



Recommended Posts

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!

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]

      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! 😞
