What does this mean?

under 64 beats per minute?

Did anyone else have this issue

Is it normal to feel tired? My nurse keeps asking me am I still tired like its a problem?

I hate that I read this an hour before surgery... I came here to post for last minute support and ... Smh..

Trust in the decision that you and your doctors have made. Don't let one bad apple spoil the bunch. If you've done your research and you know all the things you will have to do to be successful post-op, there is no reason to question yourself now.

Thanks you are right .. Everyone is different. Off to surgery I do

I hate that I read this an hour before surgery... I came here to post for last minute support and ... Smh..????????????????

Oh my goodness I can't go to sleep and I have to be at the hospital in 5 hours!!!

I have about 8 I can't sleep either ... I'm so hungry lol.

Today is the day for you!! Praying you have a sense of calm and that everything goes splendidly well!!

Thank you so much. I'm praying for the same exact things although I know it's going to get hard I.e not being able too eat and getting Protein and adequate Water in take but those are welcomed.. I pray I make it though the actual surgery. And be complication free.

My big day is also tomorrow I thought I was the only one feel all type of different emotions ..

The feelings you are having are normal especially if you have not had surgery before. Try your best to relax today. Everything will go great and your imagination is much scarier than reality.

The best thing for you to do today is do something's that take your mind off and release some of the anxiety.

Try some deep breathing exercises that calm the nerves. start by putting on some music that is soothing to you. Get yourself very comfortable. Take a nice deep breath in through your nose and then blow the air out through your mouth. Do this for 10 minutes or so, it can be very calming. It also helps to do this after surgery. It helps with pain control as well. It helps to block out distractions.

Try a relaxing bath or read a book. Anything to get your mind off of all the stuff that is causing anxiety, the best thing you can do is go into surgery with a positive attitude, it promotes healing.

You are going to do great! I wish you a very safe surgery and speedy recovery! See you in the losers club!

Thank you very much .. I will definitely try to relax. And not fret anymore I think I've been driving myself nuts lol. I will be sure to follow your advice and keep everyone updated.

I am a surgery twin...go in for preop today...my emotions are all over the place excited... nervous... anxious...I just need to let go and let God at this point...he brought us to this and he will see us through it! Just keep thinking that tomorrow is like a rebirth for us where we start a new and healthier life!!!

I totally agree I was doing my pre op and I was less nervous with the group now that I am home I'm everywhere.. I'm praying to, I've been praying hard .. I will keep praying til I'm sleep and when I wake up I will thank God then my surgeon ????????????????

I am your surgery twin. I am also scheduled for August 12th...tomorrow. EEEK...scared, nervous, and praying for no complications...everything else I am pretty certain I can deal with. I will pray for a peaceful day today for you...I know I am praying for that for myself.

yay twins I'm so happy I'm doing exactly like you praying for a complication free experience.. And a smooth recovery

How have you been doing with your pre op diet?

Yes I eat Protein first and drink lots of Water. It's hard not to gulp though lol they told me no Protein Shakes. I wonder why. Do you drink that

Good luck

Hello , I've been actively commenting on a few forums and just wanted to get my fears out there. Surgery isn't that far. And as time passes in getting more and more anxious.. I know my surgeon is great. But I'm still nervous my first time having surgery . The sick part doesn't bother me I've been sick before 2 where I couldn't eat. And couldn't keep anything down. That part is expected. It's the what if that scare me .. I pray I will be complication free.. Any surgery twins ???? Sorry so long ????????????????????

Praying for no complications and a speedy recovery..

I am having a RNY August 25th. In Califrnia

what part of California I'm having mine here too

Hello my surgery date is August 12th so much anxiety and excitement.. I'm just ready to get it started.

Mine is the 14th, too! And I'm all of what you are...nervous, excited, anxious, scared. I've had to be on full liquids since Friday and it's not been as difficult as I thought. Though right now I'm wanting food...a lot! But I want to be successful and I want to start my "new" life so I'm going to stick to my liquids and try to refocus my thoughts on something else other than the food I can't eat. Good luck, Natasha! I'm beaming positive thoughts your way!

Thank you so much. Good luck to you hun ????????
