Same!!!! We're surgery buddies!!!!! Are you nervous at all? I thought I would be by now, but I'm honestly just excited!!!

I cant say anymore if Im nervous or just anxious about it. I think they give you something before surgery to calm you lol Or at least I am hoping. My feeling is more like dread but not for the surgery itself just that I have to do it if that makes sense.

The only thing I'm a little uneasy about is the gas pain I keep hearing about. I had my gallbladder out in 97 when I was pregnant and other than pain at the incision sites, I don't remember any gas pain. I'm hoping it'll be like that now. I had to have my stomach inflated then, too, and I have 4 laparoscopy scars to show for it. Guess I'll be adding more since this one requires 5, I think lol

Oh excellent!! I’ll try and post after my surgery to tell you how it went! Thank you so much for the good wishes! Good luck with your surgery too!!

if you’re getting your gastroscopy done by them, it’s a great experience. They sedate you so you don’t feel a thing!

Congrats and I’m very excited for your big day tomorrow!
I think that everyone reacts differently and possibly with many different emotions. I don’t anticipate being nervous but rather excited…but, who knows! 🤷🏻‍♀️
Wishing you the best and I’m looking forward to your update! ❤️

I’m getting my surgery tomorrow and I had a major freak out last night. I know I can do this. But this is a lot more emotionally hard than I thought it would be.

I think your reaction is perfectly appropriate. Good thoughts coming your way, and I’ll be looking for your update. ❤️

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
