Looking for Pre/ post buddies - Surgery date: 18/12/15



Recommended Posts

Hello Guys,

Im new here!!!

Im extremely nervous (As I'm sure everyone usually is), Im in desperate need for some support and some surgery buddies as my surgery is a bit of a secret (to my friends and all my family except for my mum).

My surgery date is the 18th of December 2015 in England

Is anyone else getting sleeved around the same day?

Has anyone used Professor Ammori in Manchester?

Hi Ineedchangeasap,

Well done on booking your surgery date!

It is natural to be nervous and I don't want to make it any worse for you but I thought you should be careful given this article. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mums-year-long-agony-after-6340651

Mr Ammori left a tube in someone, I would just make sure your aftercare isn't negligent at all to make sure he doesn't make the same mistake twice.

Hey Slevels1,

Thank you so much!

Yes I actually ask him about it, and I understand that these things can happen to anyone/ any Dr (hopefully not me! Hehehe).

How has your process been?

Hi there - my surgery is actually on the 9th of December - so just a few days before yours. I live in the US - but happy to find someone having the same surgery as me. For me they just moved my surgery UP - it was scheduled on the 15th but they called and asked if I could do it on the 9th. I am nervous. I am really nervous about pain in the hospital after the surgery. All my doctor mentioned was tylenol and motriin and I need real pain killers I am a big baby with pain. I also get anxious when I am in pain.

What are you doing to pass the time between now and your surgery? Did you stick to the pre-op diet so far. I haven't been that great on my preop diet...

Im December 18th as well... Yes I'm nervous but that's to be expected and I just literally started my pre op diet and I don't mind the shakes so far. Hopefully everyone will have the best of experiences here like so many have????. Wishing all the best.

Yes Amit's a good combination of excitement with a tad of fear... No so much of the fear of the surgery but more fear of the future and how hard this is going to be for sure.

I thought I was the only one who was scared that the surgery might not work, or that I might not lose as much weight as I wanted to. Right now I am doing the three shakes a day pre op diet I'm losing my mind its so hard

        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
