Normal to be nervous??



Recommended Posts

:confused:how many were/are nervous about getting your band. At times -especially at night, I am even having doubts. Is this normal since my date is coming soon(the 26th)? Mostly I am at ease but those anxieties sure are discomforting:eek: thanks for any feedback or reassurance:smile:

Yes it is totally normal to be nervous. I was concerned about the anesthesia, and after having a blood clot (mini stroke) last year I was worried about another blood clot. I came through the surgery really well. Surgery was afternoon Thursday 8/12 stayed over night in the hospital went home 2:00 PM Friday. My mother is staying with me. Sat afternoon we went out to a couple stores so I did about 15 minutes of walking per store. I am on liquid Tylenol and only have pain when I get up after laying flat. So far I have not had the gas pains in the shoulder that others mention. From the surgery itself/protein diet I am very gassy. I am having a reaction from the tape they used to hold my bust out of the way. I put some cream on it which seems to be helping.

It seems to me generally nervous is quite the norm. For me-I even posted about it-I am Wacky nervous! I feel like I have multiple personalities the way I go from SO excited to "What in the &!@?# am I doing!?

BTW-I am also getting banded the 26th:)

I just keeping thing of all the dangers of being overweight and know this is the right choice for me. I have also made a point of finding lots of positive posts.

Hang in there!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
