nerves are getting to me surgery on monday



Recommended Posts

Today I am so nervous. I leave tonight after work for my consult appt tomorrow. I am literally freaking out. Not becaue im nervous about the surgery, I cannot wait for that journey to begin, but because i have had one liver enzyme test come back just above normal on some blood work i have had done in the past and it was consistent. the doctors didnt make anything of it, said it didnt alert them to anything, but i really dont want this to hinder my surgery!!! which is scheduled on monday. ive dropped 10 pounds on the liquid diet so im hoping some of the fat on my liver as dropped. The cards lay as they will however, so i will have an update this weekend on my consult appt. im going in for psych eval at 10:30, my orientation and appts at 11:30, Wow I cant believe its tomorrow. Please keep me in your prayers as i know this surgery will give me a tool to save my life and be around to raise my wonderful children.

:thumbup:Hey Don't worry, put the faith in your doctors, and a higher power and you will be fine. Just stay positive. I was banded on August 28, 2008 and I have gone through many many emotions after surgery which is all part of the healing process. Just remember that you are so much stronger than you think. You will soon be moving around like before and don't do too much. Just take it easy and concentrate on healing, do everything that your doctors and nutritionists tell you and you will be just fine, DO NOT RUSH IT!! This forum has helped me soooooo much. I feel great mentally and am strating to look better too. Started at 308 lbs and weighed today at 279 Very pleased!!!! Keep in touch OK and All the best, always Andrea

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
