Hello! My surgery is tomorrow. I am having random bursts of intense anxiety. And keep thinking about how I'm going to feel when I wake up.

I keep looking at my daughter and feeling guilty and afraid for her, you know in case something bad happens.

I am getting through it okay. But just nervous.

It's only natural to be a little nervous. I remember waking up excited in the recovery room because that meant I had survived. LOL!

Everyone is nervous before any surgery I think but look at all the prep you've put into this..most people go into surgery with nothing other than fasting the night before!! Afterwards you'll be looking back thinking, what was all the hype about!! You've got this!

I think everyone goes through the a similar level of anxiety. I am almost a week out now, but I kept telling my husband if anything happens to please take good care of my children😀 Once I was in recovery, I kept asking if I looked okay as if something on the outside had been taken. You will be in and out before you know it! I wish you the best.

Thanks for your kind words!

I am a mom of two young daughters, I understand your anxiety. Of course, there is always a risk with surgery so this is normal. That said, even with all of the disclaimers, I think this is pretty safe surgery to have, comparatively speaking. Good luck with your surgery.

      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! 😞
