Anxious is putting it mild



Recommended Posts

I have to have a stent put in my leg with a filter because of a genetic blood clotting disorder I have suffered from. A lapband taken out it has destroyed my insides and the gastric bypass. I am nervous and anxious. My husband is 100 percent supportive of my decision but not pushy. I need support. My story is a lot more complicated. I am scared. My surgery is July 14 but the days and making me more nervous. Yes I think of the positive often by negative scares me too. What somebody calls this routine for most it isn't for me. I need a support system. Are looking for the same?

sorry for all the issues you have been through :blink:

is the stent recent?

when were your WLS

lap band - gastric bypass

i've heard many lap band to gastric bypas stories

never heard that you can do a gastric bypasss to a sleeve??? :wacko:

i'm sure you rsseared having this new revision

doc is on boared

after all your pro's and cons

your decition is the only one that matters

nerves, excitement - are all perfectly normal

you probably experimented those feelings pre-op with you lap band and gastric bypass

your surgery is 7/14

i can support any decision you make

looking for all types of support?

you've come to the right place

good luck

@littlefoot. I'm so proud of you to make the decision for the bypass. With all that you've been through it must be a hard decision to have made. I hope this time you will find the tools and approach to make your WLS a success. It's sounds like you are in great hands with a surgeon who is proactive about your care. Good luck and stay strong.

sorry i misunderstood your earlier post :mellow:

took a dummy pill instead of my Vitamins :o

need more support - i know of a great bra shop in Florida ;)

i took an extra silly pill too :D

hospital, surgeons/ NUTS can point you in the direction for support meetings in your area

talking to other people in person, going through what you have been dealing with

throughout PO talking to others in a similar boat

SUPPORT is the middle name of Bariatric Pal

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
