Surgery in a few hours



Recommended Posts

So, my surgery is in four hours. 5:30 am 14 May. I really should be resting, but I can't. First, I got up 2:00am 13 May for the nine hour to the hospital. I slept for three hours, and been up since then. I been trying relax, but I can't do it.

I'm a little anxious, because of excessive scare tissue, it might not be done. However, I'm sure what to expect if it is. Like, why I'm I really doing this? I fought for over a year w/insurance and being in compliance, now it's here and I'm questioning myself. Has anyone else had these random thoughts prior to surgery?

Guess I'll try to rest for four hours, please post any comments.

Thank you,

VAMP

Hey, we have all been there. your going to be fine! Just breath and remember why you decided to do this for yourself. It won't be a hop skip and a jump. But it sure is a life changer. One for the best mostly.

Your on your way. Soon to be a loser like the rest of us....:)

Be proud of what you are doing for you and your future! :)

I'm going in at 9:30am and I am facing the same issue but im trying to remember why I'm doing this ... I've tried many diets and is always gave up... I need this life changer to guide me in the right direction. So good luck to you and I'm right behind you

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
