Surgery is 2 weeks from today....aaaahhhh!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled for 2 weeks from today and I'm getting REALLY nervous. I hope everything goes ok. I find myself praying alot and looking at my small children and hoping that I'm doing the right thing. Please tell me this is normal - I feel like I'm going crazy.

Follow your Dr.'s follow up advice and you'll do AWESOME! The sleeve is a great tool, but it comes with strict instructions to maximize it's purpose.

Can't wait to see you on the losers bench.

I think everyone is nervous about surgery, but it will be worth it. It so has been for me.

Mine is May 13, too. I know this is right. I'm freaked out, but that's normal. The nurse case manager says those that don't freak out are the ones they worry about! Think about living longer and healthier and more active for those kids and being there to see their kids! You can do it!

I can't say that you are not crazy, but I know I had more concerns about this surgery just pre-op than I have ever had, so understand. Maybe because it is really an elective surgery, to a point. Not elective when I consider that I have been overweight nearly my entire adult life, and I am 65. I look forward to being able to play and dance and hike more, and live longer! Keep your eye on the prize.

      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.

      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!
