Tomorrow's the big day for surgery



Recommended Posts

I think that everyone or at least most have the same anxiety before surgery. Try your best to relax. Have faith in your surgeon and know that a brand new life is getting ready to open up for you.

if you are still anxious when you get to the hospital let your dr know. They will give you something to help you relax.

This part will be behind you soon.

Hey Danny, I was assured in the support group I attended last night that what you are experiencing is absolutely normal. Let's talk about it if you want to, what's going on? I'm awake for another hour give or take.

What does your support system look like? Have you had surgery before? Are you afraid of anything in particular?

I just had my sleeve operation on Tuesday, so I know exactly how you are feeling. I had not been so scared of doing something in my entire life, especially voluntarily. I cam home early Wednesday morning, and while I am still sore and everything makes me nauseous, I still know deep down it was the right decision for me, and I bet deep down you know for yourself too!

You got this, you are NOT alone!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
