Surgery tomorrow freaking out



Recommended Posts

I dunno how to feel. My emotions are all over the place. I dunno if I'm scared, nervous, anxious, excited. I'm so confused. My bff is coming from nj to be here with me, and my other bff is coming from work to be here with me. I want this but I just don't wanna think about it. This is so surreal to me ughhh. Smh help me ease my mind please!

I felt the same way! Just relax surgery is over before you know it. I'm a wimp it was my first surgery if I can do it I know you can to. Think about how great you'll feel when you start dropping those pounds and how healthy you'll feel. Your gonna do great!

I hear so many people say surgery was literally a breeze, I'm sure it will be. I just have this notion that I rather panic, and have a smooth recovery, than be cool and calm but have complications. This is the point of no return -deep breath-

You guys will do great, congratulations on it being just around the corner now! Somebody at my support group said the same thing the other day, and all the veterans chimed in that they had felt that way for a few days before surgery to. Several of them said they are.had given them some anti-anxiety meds to take the night before and the morning and they really helped. Even though it is too late for that, just knowing so many people have that pre-op anxiety, tells me that it is not unexpected or Dyer, and hopefully not to worry too much. Maybe look at the before and after photos section of the website for inspiration? Hang in there, and I'll bet it will go fine.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      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.

        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!
