alindsey 230 Posted May 26, 2015 Dr Garcia is doing mine and my Moms sleeve June 8th at Cer in Tijuana! It's getting so close now! Im getting anxious about the procedure and my Mom being ok. I know it's nerves and everything will be fine I'm just starting to freak out a little! I'm also starting to have mini panic attacks about the foods I will miss lol This is silly and I'll get over it but I'm mourning my food addiction I guess lol I'm also starting to worry about gas pain after, hunger pains, and dehydration headaches!! I'm just in the worry stage I guess everything is starting to sink in!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lexiemia 78 Posted May 26, 2015 I know the feeling. My surgery is 28 th. I have worked in hospitals for 25 years. You would think I would not be scared. My other big concern is caffeine withdrawal headache. I have cut way back and I get up with a headache every day. I gave up the diet Pepsi two weeks ago. Now I have one glass of tea every day. I wish you and your mom the best of luck. You are going to be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should know it will all be ok but the what ifs get to me! I also get up with a headache everyday. I find it's a lil better with a cup of green tea but I'm soooooo ready to be headache free. They suck! Soda withdrawals are tough lol but worth it I know! Good luck to you as well. Feel free to message me after the 8th I'll update you on the process!

Or follow me on here I plan to post all about it! What helped me was watching a video on you tube of the surgery. I think knowing exactly what they do made me feel better. Makes me kind of know what to expect. It's funny how we nurses think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
