Hey everyone! Just joined here today for support, info and guidance. I'm scheduled for the sleeve on 12/23. Starting to get nervous, anxious and second guessing myself. All normal feelings I'm sure.

Absolutely. I had nervousness and anxiety until they knocked me out with anesthesia 🤣. I was sleeved on 12/11 and it’s been a small challenge but not so bad. COME HERE AND VENT ANY TIME YOU NEED TOO!!! There are some wonderful people here who give you that PUSH! It make a difference when someone has been where you are! Don’t worry too much. You’ll be fine. 😘

I'm scheduled for tomorrow morning and am so NERVOUS! I'm also in the cross between excited and 2nd guessing my choice. I think I'm just most worried about getting through the surgery not the after.

Hey there, what's going on with your nerves? You absolutely must believe that you are going to make it through this and on to the otherside of success. You are a Jedi warrior and THE FORCE IS WITH YOU...

Let's check in and assess, you are nervous and that's normal. Fear of the unknown is a beast, it is also paralyzing if you don't check it. You are supported here and remember you want this , so you can extend your time with your young family. 💜

If there were ANY chance of you not being 100 % successful in recovery they will NOT do the procedure.

Don’t be nervous, I’m 5 days post op and it’s the best thing I could have done. I use to take 42 pills a day for different health problems, instantly after surgery I am reduced to 8 pills I will eventually need to start taking Vitamins that I haven’t started yet but that will be nothing compared to those nasty meds I’ve talked for 25+ yrs that have damaged my kidneys.
Just remind yourself the health benefits behind it. . I will also let you know in these 5 days I haven’t had one hunger pain. I just keep up with the routine I was told and it works. Plan on setting a goal for walking to relieve any gas pain. It helps too. I couldn’t have any pain meds because of my kidney disease so I did a lot of walking.. I’m now working my way up to 10,000 steps from 5,000. Best wishes to you and you will be amazing

Thank you @Krimsonbutterflies I appreciate your kind words! Surgery went well yesterday and it looks like I’ll get to go home today. I’m only a little nauseous and that’s when I get up. Pain is controlled it’s just more of an uncomfortable feeling. I’m trying to learn how to sip slowly. 3 sips is usually too much for me and causes more discomfort in my stomach and an overly full feeling. Still very tired and sleepy. I slept most of the day yesterday.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
