Nervous

[Rossy 0]

Hi, everyone my name is Rossy,

I am having the surgery September 8th, I am very confused and nervous. Basically all the people I know that had this surgery done, had the 2 weeks liquid diet prior to the surgery. To me is a little different they have ask me to do a 2 days diet, don't know why. Another thing is that I am very nervous thinking about the day of the surgery, I've been thinking about me sleeping for all that time, what if something goes wrong, how long is it going to take, is it going to be quick? etc.

Those are some of the questiions that I have.

my whole surgery took 1-1/2 hours. I woke up in the operating room after and was awakw all the way to the ICU and moved myself into the bed... Not bad at all but pain is subjective...

Hi Rossy!! Welcome to the sleever's forum! I am glad you decided to join. Like I've told you before, it is very normal to feel anxiety over the surgery. You will phase a major change in your life. You will do well though!! Hang in there!

take your meds on time and and eat like your are told. I found that the sugar free popcicles are really a blessing. I just buy the cheap Walmart ones and they are great. i ate 10 a day while I was on liquids....and still eat 2-4 a day... as a matter of fact im going to ge one now....

good luck!

Now I want a popsicle too.

The surgery will be like the blink of an eye for you since you'll be under anesthetic, I think at most it only takes a couple hours. All the jitters you're feeling are completely normal!

I didn't have to do a 2-week pre-op diet either, my surgeon said they didn't feel like the liver reduction made much of a difference for them. I just had to do clears the day before surgery.
