Lynnbushea 21 Posted October 23, 2019 So today is my day for surgery!!! Gosh it feels like I have waited years your this. My surgery is in 4 hours!!!!! I'm nervous, scared, having self doubt, and happy. I don't know if I should go under the knife or be on a psych chair lol. I have all kinds of feeling. So far I have only told my boyfriend and my sister that I am having this procedure. I am not sure how I will explain my weight loss to my coworkers. I chose not to share because they are very judgmental. And I am also private to. Anyways I am getting up to take my shower. Just wanted to let you all know that I AM SCARED AS HELL!!!!Sent from my LM-X420 using BariatricPal mobile app 2 1 1 Serengirl, Lynda486, gwoodgm and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recidivist 1,141 Posted October 23, 2019 I felt exactly the same way right before surgery and was so emotional that I burst into tears as they brought me back to the ER. And now, seven months later, I could not be happier that I did it! 1 1 Frustr8 and gwoodgm reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaswhy 16 Posted October 23, 2019 I’m two days out from my sleeve on Oct 21 and I was very nervous beforehand. And I’m still feeling unsure now! But I try to keep reminding myself that about my long term goals. 1 gwoodgm reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynnbushea 21 Posted October 24, 2019 Thanks to everyone for their kind words. So I am out of surgery and I am feeling ok. Definitely needed meds right out of surgery. I was in so much pain.But I am tolerating the pain much better at the moment. I have walked 3 times today. Two lapse each time. The first time I felt dizzy and nausea so I had to stop and settle myself. The next two times I was fine and went walking by myself. I think I am at a DIY hospital...lol. They haven't asked if I needed assistance or anything. But thats ok I got it done. My dinner was some kind of broth that I could only take a few sips of. They also gave me lemonade packets to go in my Water. When I drink it feels like a ton is dropping in my stomach. But I am still trying to drink as much as I can. Oh and I keep belchingng out of nowhere. I mean belching like I have eaten a full course meal. Once again. Thanks everyone for the support.Sent from my LM-X420 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
