Officially Scared To Death !

I am sure you will be fine. Emotional roller coaster is understandable, it's human nature.

I have had to have my band completely emptied. Silent reflux , coughing got so bad, I could hardly breathe. Have to have some diagnostics next week once it has had change to settle, barium, endoscopy and possibly CT scan. K hope this wont mess up my planned MGB.

Good luck again for Thursday.

God Bless x

Oh wow, sorry to hear that, if anything it should confirm that you are making the right decision to have it removed! Good luck and hope you start feeling better soon !

Thanks for the link, I actually just read that yesterday in some last minute obsessive searching for anything to calm my nerves ! lol

Everything was great ! Gas pain and pain from the drain was the worst but as of today I feel good except occasionally moving wrong and feeling pulling in the incisions. I'm on Clear liquids for a week and they are going down well. I'm still resting for the most part mixed in with some laundry, dishes, light cleaning ect but I go back to work tomorrow.

Great to see you the other side . BUT BACK TO WORK TOMORROW? DId your surgeon OK that. Most folks I know take minimum 4 weeks off. Please take good care of yourself and your new WL tool.

4 weeks! Lol that's crazy, I would go nuts ! Remember this isn't my first surgery, I had lapband on a Friday and went back Monday, I had my band to sleeve revision on a Friday and went back Tuesday. I'm not over doing it, I work at a desk and believe me, I'm doing great ! I never understood how anyone could need more than a week at absolute max !

RESPECT! With one caveat, be careful please.

I had my sleeve done on a Wed and was back to work the following Tues. The Dr said I wouldn't feel like going, he was right. But...once I was up and walking, I actually felt better than just sitting at home and trying to walk there. One day I was absolutely wiped out...but no lifting in my job, I felt great going back.
