Checking in tomorrow and starting to get really scared



Recommended Posts

Getting to the hospital at 11 tomorrow. I'm so so nervous. It hasn't hit me until RIGHT NOW. I've felt horrible on this liquid diet, I've had such anxiety in general, and just getting over being sick, still have a cough and stuffed up nose. I'm terrified of coughing tomorrow and the pain I'll feel in my stomach when I do ): I'm not having second thoughts or anything, I think I'm more anxious like I just wanna freaking start this new life already. But I'm so worried to find out if it's gonna turn out bad or good that I'm starting to panic. I have a pretty severe paranoia disorder so my mind goes to the worst. I don't have a lot of friends who support me. I really need you guys right now. This is probably the most scared I've been in my life ):

I am tomorrow. Checking in at 845. I am nervous too. Like I researched and feel prepared but honestly feel like I can't expect it until I go through with it.
But we got this. We are stronger than our food addiction. We deserve a new and better life.

I am tomorrow as well. This will be my third surgery and the last two have been a total breeze -- not sure why I am so freaked out by this one.

I'll be thinking of both of you tomorrow.

You will be fine. I know I will be a nervous wreck before surgery too. The surgery is a big deal but we aren't talking brain surgery, lol. Think about why you are having surgery and the great results that are waiting for you with this tool. Remember to ask to see anesthesiologist before surgery for him to evaluate your cold. I once had a cold and the doctor changed the method. Good Luck!

Good luck to all of you! Your going to do great! It is normal to be nervous before hand, even to the moment they cart you up. But they will likely give you something to relax before they start.

Remember to walk as soon as your able afterwards, it really helps to get the gas out and start to heal.

You've got this! Looking forward to seeing you on the losers side! Thoughts and prayers are will everyone.

I also had high anxiety about the procedure, primarily because it was all an unknown to me and I'm used to being the one in control. I felt relieved when I leArned that I'd be given a relaxant in my IV very early in the OR process. I was afraid I'd struggle with this transition to being under the anesthetic. It was a wonderful moment to get awakened later in the day to see my hubby and daughter's face. You are stronger than you know and in a little over 24 hours this will be but a memory and you'll be on your way to a new life! Let us know how you do.

You'll be fine. I was sleeved Jan 18th and my anxiety was so bad, I was nauseous for a week before surgery. I prayed in pre-op and went into surgery (still full of anxiety lol). My surgery went well, no complications and down 44 lbs. No more anxiety, just happy I did this for myself.

You'll be fine tomorrow. Sending positive vibes your way.

      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.
