Surgery in the morning



Recommended Posts

Hey folks my band to sleeve procedure is in the morning 12-5-2014 and my nerves and anxiety is at a all time high. So if you would everyone send me positive vibes that I don't die. Or get a infection or blood clot. I am a nervous wreck.

Good luck on your surgery. I had mine on Aprol first this year. Conversion from lap and to sleeve. I am 57 years old. Surgery went perfectly for me no complications good recovery. First week just felt weak until I could start my Protein Shakes. It truly is a life changing new beginning. I wish you well. All will be fine

Hey folks. My surgery was canceled due to my potassium being low and they could not get it above 3.0 so I have to be rescheduled.

Sorry Dustin hope you get rescheduled real soon. I had revision from band to sleeve 11/10/14 I am doing great. Try not to be nervous it's not as bad as the band was.

I'm scheduled for surgery in the morning. My nerves are still out of control. To be honest. I am mentally fried from all the highs and lows.

Try not to worry as you can see from this website it's the best decision we can make for ourselves. my doubts were just like yours and negative thoughts ran into the first day of surgery, but after that it has been really easy compared to the band I had. If we could have done this on our own we would have by now. God know we all tried multiply times. Relax feel comfortable with your decision to get healthy.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
