Revision to RNY:Scaring myself crazy!

[meyouus 415]

Hi, I have my appointment to see the surgeon's LPN, or maybe even my Doc as well, IDK, on 4/9. I've given them all the necessary paperwork, test results, etc. They know me from my Banding in 07.

Here's the thing. As educated as I am, I am feeling scared to death! I don't know what this appointment is for. I'm freaking out about having someone go in and tear my insides apart. I'm scared I'm not prepared. It's just such a major event! Doc wanted me to lose weight before surgery, I lost 33. I am for the most part, chair bound, except when I go to my desk job. (I use a Rollator to help me walk, and hold my oxygen.) How long will I be out of work? Oh this all is driving me crazy!

Is this normal?

Write down all your concerns to ask your doctor. Are they doing your surgery laparoscopicly? Need more info sweetie. JUST BREATHE.... I have the sleeve I'm doing okay but I'm a month out and I still don't feel great. But I'm losing weight! I think I'm not getting enough Water. Make sure you are hydrated. Start with basics right now. Ask your dr the questions that well apply to you cause we are all different. I had little to no pain for the surgery but I still feel crappy a month later. Everyone is different
