Very Nervous and Anxious - Surgery days Tommorrow



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

My rebirth date is tomorrow. I have worked really hard to get here. It has taken me almost a year to get ready for the surgery. I hope all goes well. I am super nervous. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers!

It's very normal to feel nervous. Just breathe and remember that this is the beginning of your new, healthy life! When you get to the hospital, you will probably be the most nervous. But, they give you a shot called Versed, which is like a pre-sedation. After you get that shot, all of your nervousness will go away. They gave me that shot and I promise I could have skydived because I had absolutely no worries at all. It's great stuff to calm the nerves! You'll probably even fall asleep before you reach the operating room, lol! Keep us updated! We are all praying for you! <3

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
