Surgery in two days



Recommended Posts

So...I board a plane in the morning to head down to Mexico for my surgery. It still seems unreal. I can't really wrap my head around the fact that it's tomorrow. I am going through all the motions getting everything ready. But I am doing it in a bit of a haze. I keep thinking about my surgery like it's way out in the future. Then suddenly I realize it's in two days and I panic.

I think my body is acutely aware of the fact of what's going on as I have severe anxiety and have had an upset stomach all day. Just because my mind is trying to block it out....doesn't mean my body wants to cooperate. LOL

I can't wait until the surgery part is behind me and I can start dealing with my life afterwards. It seems like I have been so focused on this surgery that I can't think of anything else. I spend way too much time on these boards and way too much energy thinking about the procedure.

I wish that I had someone to go with me to give me some moral support. I will probably freak out the night before while by myself in the hotel room. Oh well...the wheels are in motion. YIKES.

      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.
