5 days post op
HandStandElasticBand replied to JSC2014's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi congratulations on your op & recovery, well done! I am 8 days post op, was sleeved on 24th & I too am feeling good. I have been on a roller coaster this week mostly due to bad pain management so if I could offer firer ops any advice from my experience I would say make sure your pain relief is paramount! Here's to recovery & weight loss & all the wonderful things we dream for ourselves and our families. -
Uh-Oh.....Nerves are starting to kick in a little
HandStandElasticBand replied to Aunt GG's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 34 hours in & didn't realise the pain would be this strong either. First 24 were peppered with agony but slept well last night. We hav to remember we've had major surgery & that comes with pain. An inspiration to me is my kid sister who had it done on 14th & I nursed her through the 1st 11 days til I came for mine. Now she's nursing me. We'll get there and what's a couple of weeks of pain for a lifetime of thin? -

I'm actually thinking ...... I'm 37 now, just accept what you are and forget surgery ??? Amazing the power of anxiety ! -

Uh-Oh.....Nerves are starting to kick in a little
HandStandElasticBand replied to Aunt GG's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in tomorrow too & feeling very similar to you. Let's look at the people who have done this and know we can do it too. My sister had hers on valentines day & she's still alive and happy she did it & super excited for me to be the same. We can do it. And this summer we will feel better than we did last or for a long time. And we will be even thinner next! I can't quite get my head round I will be thin for life---- NO MORE YOYO! We can do it and we are doing the right thing. This is just last minute jitters x -
getting sleeved 2/24/14 !
HandStandElasticBand replied to nsabino's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Good luck NSABINO! I'm in at 3 tomorrow for mine too. I'm lying in bed crying about how much I love my children. I had no idea I would be a going like this. Good luck to the nurses tomorrow who have to deal with me! Fingers crossed I will have secured my stiff upper lip by then & won't make a complete goon of myself. I wish all my fellow 24/2 sleevers all the very best of luck. See you on the other side! -
I cheated .. Bad!
HandStandElasticBand replied to lmdx0sleeved's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm getting my op on Monday and I have not been an angel with my pre op diet either ???? I have wondered about it & I do try every day and I am a good 85% true but I am not making 100% I don't think it will make much difference. Maybe pain afterwards will be worse? I don kno. Ppl have major emergency surgery every day and r ok so they are trying to make an ideal situation but the reason we are getting the surgery is we can't control our eating so, what dya expect? Xx -
Op on Monday ...... I'm 88kg & 37yrs old have 3 children under age of 10. Divorced, single, working mam. How much weight will I loose? Will I be ok alone at home with children straight after? I'm taking a week timed owed at work and telling no one, will they guess? Is it worth the money? Is it selfish spending all that on me? Will it give me the new life I am hoping for?

Pre op questions:
HandStandElasticBand replied to HandStandElasticBand's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah it's really exciting. My sister had a lot if pain in 1st 24 hrs due to neglect from nursing team. But I remain positive. I've had 3 c sections and cared for new Borns straight after so how much worse can it be now? U look really great on yr pic. Loosing weight will boost my self esteem and I need that. My ex was abusive and continues to bully and harass me, this is a huge step in regaining control for me. X -
