papab 0 Posted April 11, 2013 My date has been set for a month and beginning to feel anxious, I'm sure it's normal, but looking for responses on how others felt and how they felt after their gastric sleeve surgery. papab Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
himalaya62 221 Posted April 11, 2013 I was very nervous about this surgery and constantly second guessing my decision but now that I'm 2 months post op and 50 lbs lighter and fitting into size 16 jeans and feeling amazing I thank God I did this. The good definitely outweighs the difficult time and it wasn't that bad to begin with. Now that my life is settling down and I get the hang of this lifestyle, it's just so easy for me. You will not regret this decision! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
himalaya62 221 Posted April 11, 2013 I remember the night after my surgery getting out of bed at 2 am and going for my stroll in the hospital and breaking down in tears because it hit me what I had just done and there was no going back. I thought I had lost my mind. The nurses kept telling me that it was a normal reaction to the surgery and almost everyone cries within a day afterwards because they are in shock they actually went through it. It's a big deal having 80% of your stomach removed but you know what? I don't feel like I ever had any surgery at all and my insides feel completely normal. Occasionally a couple of good hardy burps that I never had before after I eat but otherwise completely normal. Good luck! You are not alone in this journey!!!
