Hi,

I am having surgery this week, not scared of the procedure at all, have had many major surgeries on my spine in the past.

But I am crying all the time, which is definitely not me. I am also a diabetic, my sugar levels are fine...........am so happy to

start my new life, but can't expalin my feelings. Has anyone else out there experienced this? Also feeling very weak on the pre- surgery diet, getting enough calories. Has anyone else experienced this?

Any help you could provide, would really be appreciated............Thanks Lori :rolleyes:

Lori,

The calorie restriction can really mess with your emotions. It is going to be ok. Just be gentle with yourself.

Best wishes.

Thank you so much...............Lori

You may also just be realizing just how much this surgery is going to improve your health/quality of life. If this surgery has been a long time coming (like it is for so many), the reality of it actually happening may be hitting you, too. Just another idea.

I personally went through the weepys last week. I personally was realizing this was going to improve my life, change it and my best friend (food) was being served with eviction papers.

Good luck things will be great!

      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.
