Tomorrow is my surgery, nervous but excited too



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am having my lapband surgery finally tomorrow at 3 PM in Manchester, UK. Although I do not live here in UK, I wanted to do it here because I can have it done by Prof. Favretti who is the best surgeon in this field and I can have the SILS (single incision). Because I am a self payer, I came here. Now, I am in my hotel excited, nervous and a bit scared.

Today I met with Healthier Weight people and Dr. Ashton, great people very kind and I am more in easy. Dr. even told me to have a nice dinner. I was scared that I was not religiously following the diet and my liver will be very large. They were not worried. I am scared from narcoses, like many thoughts come to my mind that I can sleep and never wake up again or wake up during the surgery. I know its just what I create in my mind but I am feeling as such.

I am 125 kilos now and I aim to be 85. Pray for me..

You will be fine.....people have this done everyday and the rates are really low for things like that, almost nonexistent. I am having surgery on Friday so I feel ya. I am worried too but the funny thing is I am most worried about that saggy skin that could result from the surgery.

Good luck, you will be so much happier in the end. BTW, I am jealous that you get one incision...wow!

thanks everyone for your support. My surgery went well. Yet they had to do 3 more small incisions as my liver was way too tick. stick all from my belly button so no large scar. I will do another post with my experience in details.

Thanks again

I'm having my surgery this afternoon. I'm not sure how I'll make it to 2:30 without Water. But I'm getting very excited. Nervous, too, of course.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
