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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
