surgery tomorrow advise



Recommended Posts

i am excited and kind of scaredish type thingy a bit. my mind is going 80 miles an hour checking and re checking to make sure i am doing everything i need to do, should do, could do, might be good if, and just in case. lol i cannot wait until they give me something to relax. i would take a xanax now but i am hoping because i am not taking any it will hit me stronger when i really need it. lol i am doing everything i can possibly do now i just need to leave it in the lords hands. wow i cannot believe it is finally happening, i am having surgery to change my life forever. any last minute advise? please pray for me i need all the help i can get.

Hi, Alisia. You'll do fine. I had my surgery Thurs. (13th) and just got home late yesterday. Had a few minor bumps with med reactions and nausea. But all is good! Down 22 pouns since my consultation in June!I was very nervous too. Just take a lot deep breaths and think about where you'll be by Christmas. Congrats on your big day and I'll keep you in my prayers.

I had similar med reactions Nanna. My surgery was last Tuesday. I stayed a second night to make sure it was all worked out. My advice...if they offer you an extra day in the hospital...take it! Better to get the meds worked out there where they can monitor you.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
