Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted August 26, 2016 I'm having my sleeve done tomorrow morning.. I'm very scared Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Best of luck! That pre-op anxiety and fear is very understandable. It was the worst part of the whole experience for me. Sending good thoughts your way. I pray you have a uneventful, complication free surgery and recovery. Let us know how you are doing. (A side note: I gave my mom my phone with strict instructions not to give it back to me until I was no longer loopy from the pain meds!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AgentSmith 39 Posted August 26, 2016 LOL to the phone comment! Try to relax and you'll be fine! Wishing you the best for tomorrow! If I did it (today!) you can do it tomorrow!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smashley23 32 Posted August 26, 2016 Good luck! Everything will be just fine. You are on the cusp of the new you. Please keep us updated!! I have 10 days and I can't wait. I understand being nervous. It's a huge life change! Keep us updated. Sending you positive vibes! I love the phone comment. I am having mine do the same. No pain med induced texting if someone has your phone. I know how I get when I've had a few. I can't imagine what I'd be like on strong pain meds.. It's for my own good!

magicianbeautician74 26 Posted August 26, 2016 I feel you! Two weeks today I travel to Mexico for my sleeve. I'm feeling the same way, but remember your journey is about the big picture, and fear and doubt are only fleeting emotions. I can't wait to hear how it goes!

nicugal36 53 Posted August 28, 2016 You guys are just amazing and so supportive.. Thank you! Surgery went well and I really haven't experienced to much post op pain.. Has is a little uncomfortable and the larger incision(where the stomach come out) is tender . I did the swallow test yesterday morning to make sure there was no leaking and then started Clear Liquids.< /p> Thanks again for all the positive vibes and well wishes >hugs< Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamPSUfan 30 Posted August 28, 2016 My surgery is tomorrow, 8/29. I'm glad to hear things went well. I'm a bit nervous and wondering what the first week is typically like. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicugal36 53 Posted August 29, 2016 Best of luck Sam! Nervous is normal, as you read, I was very scared. But the hospital staff and my surgeon were amazing and I'm following my Drs directions to a T.. So far so good.. Started full liquids today and did pretty well sipping on a protien shake.< /p> Let us know how your doing.
