Surgery Is On The 27Th And I'm So Stinking Nervous!



Recommended Posts

I have had 5 other major surgeries and I wasn't as afraid and nervous as I am to have this surgery. I am having a revision from band to Sleeve and my nerves are getting the best of me. I know this feeling is normal but man I think I need some anxiety pills just to get passed these next couple of days.

Yes! I had my Thanksgiving dinner on the 17th and it was yummy! Now I'm on the liquid diet it's not that bad except getting major headaches.

I understand completely, as I am heading for my sleeve at 07:00 tomorrow morning. I know that it's the right thing to do, but it does make you think.

I am sure it's just pre op nerves and all will be fine. I have been working on mine for 3 months (supervised diet) and the last 2 weeks on liquid.< /p>

As I have read on many threads this is a life choice, and I get motivation reading how well people are doing post op and how great they feel.

My hole hospital stay was 23hrs........... I hear a lot of people getting nauseous so that's why asked my doctor before hand..... So he gave me a patch..... And so far I haven't had any.....

I have just over two weeks until mine. I am terrified but excited. I'm going to Tijuana, which kinda adds to the whole overwhelming-ness of it all. I keep thinking I'll back out, but then I see the before and after shots...

Don't worry! It will be well with you if you've followed your instructions! I had mine last Wednesday the 20th...I did very well..I am so thankful! Now I am at my 5th post op day....doing pretty well....walked a bit too much today though, so I'm feeling it now. Been sipping broth, eating Jello, drinking warm milk and trying to get my fluids in (water)...it's a bit of a challenge, but I'm just talking it a day at a time....

U CAN DO THIS!

Sleeve was done by noon today, I just just had my first walk around. Yes there is some pain and discomfort, but no more than I expected.

The op took 2 hours and it took longer to get over the effects of the sedation than I would have wished.

I am now sitting up checking mail and seeing what happened in the world today.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
