Today I have surgery



Recommended Posts

Well, it is finally here. Today I am having my surgery. I have to be at the hospital at 1:53 and surgery is at 3:53. I have already had a meltdown this morning. I am so nervous. Not about the surgery or that anything will go wrong because I have the good Lord on my side. I don't know why I am so nervous. Breathe! Prayers are welcome. :)

Prayer already said! About an hour before your surgery, I have my last Aetna weigh-in. I hope that I'll be following in your footsteps soon! The Lord's got this! Just breathe!

Hello everyone. I apologize for not posting sooner but my password wouldn't work. It was driving me crazy that I couldn't update everyone about my surgery.

I wanted to let everyone know that surgery went very well. No complications at all. I had a wonderful night nurse. I couldn't ask for a better nurse. My daytime nurse was awful. I only saw her about 2 times the whole day. I was beginning to think they had forgotten about me. I went into surgery a little earlier. It was suppose to be at 3:53 but they got me in there at 2:30. it took an hour and a half. I was walking around 10:00 that night. The daytime nurse wouldn't let me walk but the nighttime nurse got me walking. I was ready to go by that morning. But I got released at 7:00 that evening. While I was in the hospital, my blood pressure was amazing. I have never seen it that great before, even with 3 different BP medicines. They took me off all of them before I left. I have checked it since being home and it is still amazing. And my Blood sugar has never been so low. It runs in the 200-300 even with an insulin pump. While I was in the hospital, it ran around 120-130. I woke up this morning with a reading of 98. I am so excited.

Thanks for all the prayers and love.

      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
