Cocopuff88 61 Posted September 4, 2013 Ahhhhhhh! How exciting! You'll do just fine. No worries! All the worrying won't change a thing about your surgery! Just gotta trust you're in good hands and everything is gonna be alright. Maybe try to go to bed early so you can't think about it haha that's my plan 1 OBXgirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OBXgirl 21 Posted September 4, 2013 Thank you both!! I will definitely keep you all posted. It's such a blessing to finally get this done. But for some reason, my mind is spinning tonight. Maybe early bedtime is what I will have to do:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
She-She 8 Posted September 4, 2013 Woot woot!! It will fly by. I was sooooo nervous, especially over the anesthesia part. I mean full blown phobia, panic attack scared. But let me tell you....anesthesia is AWESOME. Didn't even know I was put to sleep when I woke up in recovery. I asked the nurse when we were going to do the surgery haha. They give you pain meds to help you through the night which were awesome as well. I peed all night because of the IVs tho. And I may have asked wtf did I do a few times but it gets so much better. If your nauseous make sure you ask for the meds. They help and no need to suffer. But it honestly wasn't that bad. 1 OBXgirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nervousnelly 24 Posted September 4, 2013 I was sleeved Aug. 27. A week ago today, I couldn't sleep a wink the night before and truth be told almost bailed.... It was no where near as bad as I thought. You will be okay! Just remember afterwards walk as soon as you are able to. I think it made a great difference. Today I would not believe I had surgery if it wasn't for the stitches on my tummy and the 12lbs weight loss in a week! Good luck sending positive thoughts! 1 OBXgirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OBXgirl 21 Posted September 4, 2013 Ohhhh thanks for all the support!! I really needed to hear These words of encouragement. Knowing I'm not alone in my nervousness sure does soothe me a bit . I figure I will probably have the wtf moment myself haha. And yes, today I've thought quite a few times about bailing. I will make it!!! 1 She-She reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OBXgirl 21 Posted September 6, 2013 Day 3 and headed home soon Yay!!! Surgery went well. I walked as soon as i could and believe this really helped. I definitely had a few moments of 'why did i do this.' But i know in the end, i will be happier and healthier. Having alot of gas and tummy rumbling. Dr says this is normal. Had some broth and crystal light this morning. Tummy making all kinds of rumbly noises even as im typing this....anyone else experience this?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
