I'm having mine on January 21st [emoji2]Hi people-
So my date is January 22. My mind is all over the place!! Im scared but hopeful. I have full confidence in my surgeon and the hospital. I feel prepared in terms of researching this to death. I know everyone's experience is vastly different which makes it so hard when you have No idea how you will recover.
I have anxiety in general so this is particularly hard for me to go forward thinking everything will be fine.
I have watched too many videos where people struggle, have complications, cant seem to drink their Water, cant get food down, have dumping...etc but I know in my logical brain that does not necessarily mean I'll have those issues. But my anxiety tells me to prepare for trouble.
I hate this kind of self defeating worry cause I REALLY believe in the mind/body connection. I know my feelings going into it can potentially affect the outcome and I need to get my head right!
What I'd love to know is if anyone had these worries before surgery such as, what if I struggle, what if I dont lose that much, what if I have a lot of pain, what if I can't manage to get anything down and then DIDN'T have these things happen?
I want to go into this being positive! My doctor literally called me a "perfect candidate" and lord knows he's run enough tests that I know I have absolutely no health issues. I have every reason to believe I'll have a good outcome but still...I worry so much!
Insights?

I got put on a laxative bc of Constipation as I started to add in the Meal Replacement drinks such as Premier Protein and Bariatric Fusion. That was on 12/17.
Maybe I should try a laxative too

I'm one day closer to being ready. It so real once I filed for FMLA at work.

4-6 weeks.
I have a physically demanding job and took off 3 but I was put on light duty and got increased assistance. Discuss this with your surgeon but those with physically demanding jobs should definitely take as much as they can being it will take time to get readjusted to drinking while up on your feet/moving and eating properly while maintaining enough energy
Thank you I will discuss this concern because there is absolutely no light duty.

How much time will I need to take off from work? I'm in the medical field and lift residents out of bed, chair and commode. Some weigh over 200lbs. Don't want to go back too soon or stay out too long. [emoji62]

Thanks Mona you are right. My body has been through so much already.Having doubt or buyers remorse is normal before any surgery. Fear of complications is natural... but what if you don't have the surgery? How much longer can your body hold up like this? Are you unhappy or miserable with your weight? If not now... then when?? Best of luck... you got this!

Hope you can get that straighten out soon.I’m scheduled for the 22nd, but now my surgeon has decided he wants an endoscopy first and that dr can’t get me in before that. I’m going to have to hope for a cancellation to be able to keep my surgery date. I hate all this not knowing!

Me too. I need to be regular and drinking and not eating made me so constipated that I needed a laxative. I don't like that feeling. Is Constipation a issue with this surgery?

I'm scheduled to have the gastric sleeve in January. I've been binge watching YouTube vlogs nonstop and everyone looks so young. I want to do this for better health and longevity.

I know how you feel. I have to plan my every move. I am tired of feeling tired. I'm ready for a change but my health is so complicated. I can't afford to end up in worst shape than I'm already in right now.
