Surgery in a couple hours and I can't sleep



Recommended Posts

Hi Fabulous!

Sorry you can't sleep. It's exciting and when the decision is made after all that work for approval it's gotta be over the top exciting.

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow.

Take care and you're gonna do great!

Sweet dreams.

I was the same way. It is hard to get the mind in a place to let you rest when you have such a big day tomorrow. Try to at least rest, even if you can't sleep well.

Good luck tomorrow. I'm sending you good thoughts.

Just think of ALL the good things. Think about all the new clothes, how you will feel, the confidence you will have!!!!

Just be excited and happy you are changing yourself for the better!!!!

If it makes you feel any better, I got to the hospital the day before my surgery. So I had to sleep in a hospital bed and stew over the decision I was making. I literally made myself sick. All. Night. Long.

But I'm 4 months post op, and so happy with my life now!! It's different, yes, but SO WORTH IT!
Good luck, and I'm so happy for you!!

There has not been a moment of regret. I'm 5 mo post op and down 117lbs. I've barfed my brains out. But that's only because I ate too fast, wrong stuff or didn't listen to the doctors. It's worth it. It's soooo worth it.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
