Oh Snap... Surgery tomorrow! Am I ready?



Recommended Posts

The big day is here! I'm pretty nervous and hope I can get some sleep tonight! I kind of lost it this weekend and ate sushi and a drumstick ice cream cone! Lol!

I was told I would be outpatient, which means I could leave after a 6hr hospital stay. I'm assuming I don't need to take anything with me, do I?

Surgery, any kind of surgery, is sort of like jumping off the high diving board or bungie jumping. Once it's done, it's all downhill from there. You'll be fine.

My surgery is tomorrow as well (YAY us!). I'm nervous and have been very tempted to go out and get my favorite fast food to have one last taste of it, but I didn't and the urge is driving me crazy. I've been trying to keep myself busy so that I wouldn't think too much about this, but knowing me, I'll be up late tonight thinking. That I don't mind since I don't check into the hospital until 9:15 tomorrow. Hopefully, I will be able to sleep in and not have too much time to think about wanting to eat.

I know what you mean! My head is spinning over the food, but I'm going to suck it up and eat a healthy last meal and try to sleep through the night! We can do it! Good luck tomorrow!

Shrinkingchef...personally, I would bring an overnight bag just in case plans change last minute? Maybe it's just the worry wart in me.

Wish mine was outpatient!

Drink a lot of clear liquid so you get full and don't feel hungry no more.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
