Getting Sleeved tomorrow - getting a little scared



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in June and 37lbs down as of now it's the best thing I ever did..I feel wonderful..no more swollen ankles and I just bought 3 pr size 10 jeans..great feeling!

You will be just fine..and you def will have no regrets!! The worst part about the surgery is not eating and drinking at the same time but I always drank my iced tea after I ate anyways. I had the jitters prior to the surgery..heck we all do but again you will never regret it.

Hello Sleeve sisters,

Yes it all went well. Everything came out perfect. Had no reaction to the anesthetic or anything. Just a bit sore on my larger incision, but other than that im going wonderfully. Thank you all for your positive vibes. I truly appreciated them. :confused:

:confused: So they just called me from the hospital, and I need to be there at 7:45am. It has now gotten real to me. I am getting really scared now. Do I really want to do this? Will I make it out ALIVE? I'm psyching myself out I think. Ahhhhh I want to yell. I'm scared. All I can think about are my kids. :scared0: Any words of encouragement will help, I'm sure... AHHhhhhh:scared0:

I hope the best for you. I enjoyed reading your thread. I am getting so close to possibly getting a surgery date, only have my Psych. Eval. to turn in this week or so. The closer I get the more anxious I get. I even took one of my anxity pills last night, but I still am having a hard time with it. I am having a hard time getting sleep, I am thinking so much about it coming up soon and wondering if it will get approved soon. I am glad I read all about this happening to others, it helps me to understand why I have been so worked up here recently and can't hardly sleep. For anyone that has read any of my other posts, I changed my profile picture. This picture shows more of me and it really helps me want to go exercise at the Y every time I see it. I think you will agree with me that I really need this sleeve!!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
