Anxiety is kicking in



Recommended Posts

I'm at the hospital signing consent forms, and thoughts are just going through my head 100 mph.

Blood pressure was 150/98, the highest I have ever seen it

Exciting stuff, right!?

I can ascertain from your previous posts that you are a highly spiritual person - perhaps you can find some peace of mind and calmness through your faith.

Hang in there!

I feel so much better after praying, and reading the entire in full. I've never had surgery and I've gained a lot of information through this site, thanks

I had never had surgery before - or ever been in the hospital for that matter!

But it actually wasn't bad at all - it was like time travel!! One minute you're relaxing on a table, the next you're waking up and someone's shaved your damn belly!

You guys will do great - be excited, you are taking control!!

Hahah well if that's the worse thing we have to deal with is a shaved belly then I can deal with that. I guess I could just beat them to the punch and do it ahead of time. Thats the good thing about the drugs they give you to put u out. Makes everything go by quick

Seriously that was the worst part for me - super itchy!

Don't shave it yourself though, they prefer to do it so that it's the proper length (they don't shave it smooth because they don't want ingrown hairs, cuts or infections around the incisions).

They could have at least continued to trim further south, just so things would be more proportionate though! Oh well, at least NOW I can see down south and do it myself!! B)

Yea I am sure that it was itchy. I guess your right I better leave it to the professionals. So I don't do something they don't like.

I am sure that is a plus being able to see down south and not like cutting off your airway to try and trim things up hahaha.

      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.
