Two weeks from today....



Recommended Posts

OMG, two weeks from today I will be sitting in a hospital room with a brand new sleeve. Am I nervous? Are you kidding?!?!? I have so many emotions running through my head right now, I don't know how I am going to get through the next two weeks. Man, I feel like a crazy lady! I want this more than anything, I know it is the right thing for me. I am scared. What if I am the only person in the world who does not lose weight with the sleeve? God, I am going to look stupid! I am nervous. What if, after the sole reason to having this surgery is to get healthy, what if I croak on the operating table. Boy, that would really tick me off. I am anxious. I am more than ready for this. I have done tons of research and am well informed, just antsy. I feel like I need to hold my breath until this is over....but I am ready to hyperventilate. Does that make sense? I am still waiting for insurance approval.....what if they deny me? OMG, I am all over the place!



I know I can't be the only crazy lady right now. Are you guys having the same thoughts? Share them with me, will you? Let me know I'm not alone!

Surgery is Friday for me and I feel ALL of those concerns. I have this utterly horrific fear of dying on the table and then having a leak, AND THEN not losing weight is a constant worry. I'm literally scared to death... but also excited and hopeful. :)

      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?
