Surgery tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

My future surgery, my dream and now you are my little pioneer! Linzlulu now relax tonight, plant peaceful and joyous thoughts in your mind, you know it's your time, although it is difficult to give over control of your body even for a short period, you have built up trust with these people and you know nothing bad will be happening. Tomorrow you will go to your bariatsic facility, put on one of their nasty ugly surgical gowns. In my facility they are grey with a red abstract design, but what can I expect? It's Ohio Stare University, the home of scarlet and gray! You will curl up on a gurney, have an IV started and soon go Sleepy Bye. When you wake up again , you may be stiff, you may be sore and you might even be nauseated. You'll be in a room with surgical techs, nurses and other good people all watching over you and keeping you safe. When you are ready you will be up and walking, sipping and seeing the sights in the unit. Bottom line, you'll do just fine and you'll have a Bari-sister in Ohio jealous as snarf,cause you'll be where I long to be! Oh the wheels are turning for me to join you, I just don't know exactly the speed. But,it is going to come,even if I have to use a box cutter and fishing,line and do myself. I will be sending happy positive thoughts your direction tomorrow. And be sure to tell me all about it as soon as you feel like posting, because I WILL BE WAITING!

        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
