Feelings pre surgery

[nrg33 27]

What feelings did you have right before surgery? I know this is what I want to do but I just feel blah about it lately. My surgery is in 2 weeks and has been scheduled since March.

I am almost two weeks post op and feel great. Its truly an adjustment when you eat but I feel great

I get my lap band removed and converted to a sleeve on May 28 th. I can't wait for the day to come and get to the recovery stage. I am a little scared that there may be issues with the band since I have had it since 2004. I have all the faith in the world in my surgeon so I keep telling myself everything will be just fine.

My surgery is 2 days away. I'm nervous, scared, excited. Sometimes the anxiety is so overwhelming I feel like throwing up. But I know this is the right decision for me. When I first started this journey, I couldn't wait for surgery. Now that it's almost here I'm beside myself. Lol

I'm scheduled for 5/28. Went through a 2 hour preop class today. My daughter in law had band to sleeve revision surgery last Wednesday (it was unanticipated). I feel pretty prepared for what to expect since I took care of my DIL and the nurses doing the education for my program are very detailed on what is going to happen before, during, and immediately following surgery. I've already purchased the stage 2 foods since I will be on stage 2 for 2 weeks. I'm sure I'll be more anxious next week. Good luck to all.

Some minutes I'm ok and others I'm freaking out!

Right before surgery I found it strange that I was not nervous at all. The only anxiety I felt was because I wasn't nervous and thought that I should be.

I was so excited To get going I actually started my preop diet 2 days early my only glitch was 4 days before surgery I had a panic attack in my car on the way to work...." WTF am I doing?!" I had to pull over, breath a bit and then it passed.

I spent the day before my surgery scrambling to try and even GET to Tijuana. My flight was cancelled due to a snowstorm and I had to drive 5 hours to another state to fly standby on the very last flight into San Diego, so lots of travel anxiety there. I was actually determined enough to have driven all the way to Mexico if I'd needed to. By the time I got to OCC the morning of my surgery, my only feelings were relief that I made it and looking forward to anesthesia cause I was exhausted!

I am getting so excited! I don't have a preop diet and my surgery is in 4 days!!!!!! I can't believe it is here! I think I am most nervous about the NG tube they take out when you're awake

I was excited and nervous! I was more nervous about all the changes and how I would feel post op. Well I am 2 weeks post op and I feel great. It feels weird learning how much I can or should I say can't eat but I'm adjusting.

Not sure why you would have an NG tube?

I'm getting sleeved this Tuesday, 5/26 and I'm incredibly nervous! I keep freaking out and panicking but I have to keep reminding myself why I'm doing it. This site is definitely helping. I didn't have any food funerals, which sometimes makes me sad, because I didn't think of even doing that, but I'm okay. I love to cook so I'm really excited for a new relationship with food. I'm nervous about having surgery in general and making a gigantic decision when I'm just 23 years old but I'm excited for the journey.
