I think my body is panicing



Recommended Posts

I don't know if my body is panicing or it's mental or what , but I think my body has gone nutty. I'm 4 days to surgery and all day at work I had clammy hands, and would sweat and felt like my heart would occasionally skip beats. Not like I am having a heart attack or anything I just didn't feel well. Did anyone else feels this way? I know i'm a little scared about the whole thing, but I feel mostly excited. At least I think, i'm just curious if anyone elses body reacted strangely before the big day. Any help would be great.:w00t:

Alicia:

It sounds like you might be having panic attacks. If it makes you feel any better, just know that banding was the best thing I've done for myself in 20 years. The pain isn't bad.

I got worked up before my surgery too. I was stressed out and I got a yeast infection two days before surgery. Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe not. Anyway, I don't know how much you want to lose, but you'll see - it really feels so much better to weigh significantly less.

Good luck and try to relax knowing that you're doing something that is probably going to make you very happy and healthier.

Take care.

Yep, sounds like panic attacks. I get them from time to time. No fun.

Take a big breath. Just know that the majority of bandsters are glad they did it and don't have regrets. You'll do great!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
