getting surgery done today and I'm nervours



Recommended Posts

I'm breaking out in hives hahaha. Seriously I'm nervous and scared. Please pray for me and wish me well. Any kind words will be appreciated. No one knows except my husband. And i don't want to get him scared and freak out. He had a cousin pass away from complications of the bypass. So he's super supportive but obviously concerned. No friends or family know. Ladies and Gents...they are coming to pick us up in 90 mins. Jeez louise..!!!

I know I am making the right choice but it's hitting me right now...this is real..and actually happening!! Anyone here...please help! Tell me something good! :-). Thank you!!

May The Lord bless you and guide the doctor and his team to a successful surgery. Amen! I was sleeved 4 months ago and remember I was so nervous every part of my body tingled so much it actually hurt. I started getting antsy and asking all sorts of stupid questions to the medical staff and my husband was laughing at me. I remember being rolled in the operating room and them surgical team waiting for me at the door like you would see at a sports game receiving their team. I asked if they were there for me and they asked what my doctor's name was. When I told them, they answered "Yup, lets get this this show on the road" so positive. So I send you positive vibes! Have a good recovery. Best wishes to you!

Hey everyone!! Again....Thank You!! U guys helped me remain strong. So on the 15th was surgery. Had hiccups and gas but kept walking and felt good. Strangely, all my anxiety disappeared around discharge time. I know for sure I made the right choice. Too late now right! Ha-ha. I did break out in hives on the crown of my head but otherwise Im good. Im drinking my liquids. I love ice and very cold drinks. Still no word said to my Mother. Waiting for the right time. My sister is going thru a bit of a thing that will soon be resolved..so Im waiting until things are good. Maybr until my stitches are healed and eating something more solid. I just didnt want to overload her. Dr Alvarez was excellent. When Im settled Im going to write out my experiences. Im keeping track of everything. I dont regret it. I look forward to the future. This is most def a journey and not a destination.

I am so grateful for such sympathetic people on this site and Dr. Alvarez's staff. The fear blew me away...almost. it just hit me all at once. :-) my husband is treating me like a baby and I love it! Haha. Like a Princess. It makes me feel like I picked a good one. :-). Any questions..concerns..please lt me know. I will most certainly will help as much as I can Pretty Babies..

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
