OMG Surgery Tomorrow (11-19-2015)



Recommended Posts

I have what I need for the hospital packed (or I hope I have everything!)

Finishing up work so others at my office can continue my tasks.

Just waiting for scheduling to tell me what time to be there in the morning. Surgeon states normal inpatient time is 30 hours if no complications. That means home Friday afternoon or evening. I have decided (LOL) not to have any complications.

Wow....almost there!! Am so stoked. How am I going to sleep tonight??

Congratulations!! I too am getting surgery tomorrow and anxiously waiting for my phone call from scheduling to get my surgery time.

I hope I packed everything I will want and need. I will be in the hospital for 2-3 days so we will see. Good luck with everything!!

Can't sleep. Did anyone else just toss and turn the night before surgery?

I was able to doze for a few hours. Still feel like I got no sleep. Showered, dressed, ready to go. 40 minutes till leave.

Surgery went ok, a few hours delayed. Spent Thursday and Friday night and released to go home today (Saturday) around noon.

Won't lie, the first day was rough. 2nd day not much better. But Saturday morning early (like 2am! ) I got a change in pain meds that eased the pain and let me sleep. Woke up sorta refreshed and spoke to the surgeon. Said I was progressing nicely and could go home. Didn't take me long to pack up! Home sweet home!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
