Today

So today is my day for surgery!!! Gosh it feels like I have waited years your this. My surgery is in 4 hours!!!!! I'm nervous, scared, having self doubt, and happy. I don't know if I should go under the knife or be on a psych chair lol. I have all kinds of feeling. So far I have only told my boyfriend and my sister that I am having this procedure. I am not sure how I will explain my weight loss to my coworkers. I chose not to share because they are very judgmental. And I am also private to. Anyways I am getting up to take my shower. Just wanted to let you all know that I AM SCARED AS HELL!!!!

  • I felt exactly the same way right before surgery and was so emotional that I burst into tears as they brought me back to the ER. And now, seven months later, I could not be happier that I did it!

Today is my surgery too! Except mine isn’t until 12 hours from now. Blah. Feeling he same emotions too. Just scared. We can do this though. We have to. Lol

I’m two days out from my sleeve on Oct 21 and I was very nervous beforehand. And I’m still feeling unsure now! But I try to keep reminding myself that about my long term goals.

BTW: get up as fast as you can and walk them hospital hallways, the more you move the faster the air moves out - trust me on this

Good luck and congratulations

Thanks to everyone for their kind words. So I am out of surgery and I am feeling ok. Definitely needed meds right out of surgery. I was in so much pain.But I am tolerating the pain much better at the moment. I have walked 3 times today. Two lapse each time. The first time I felt dizzy and nausea so I had to stop and settle myself. The next two times I was fine and went walking by myself. I think I am at a DIY hospital...lol. They haven't asked if I needed assistance or anything. But thats ok I got it done. My dinner was some kind of broth that I could only take a few sips of. They also gave me lemonade packets to go in my water. When I drink it feels like a ton is dropping in my stomach. But I am still trying to drink as much as I can. Oh and I keep belchingng out of nowhere. I mean belching like I have eaten a full course meal. Once again. Thanks everyone for the support.
