Surgery TOMORROW



Recommended Posts

Oh gosh, I am so nervous.

I've been trying to keep busy as much as possible, but I've been having stress heart burn and runs (it's nothing I ate or anything, it just happens when I'm super stressed).

My surgery is at 930am tomorrow. I am so worried that something will go wrong and I can't go through... I've followed all the rules and did my best, but... I am literally vibrating.

Good luck! It will be tough in the beginning, but just remember it is your health at stake. You will be fine, but prepare your mind and know you can do it!

I was just wondering what you were doing in Vegas. I came on here to check on you and omg...my stomach does the same thing due to stress/nerves. Nothing is going to go wrong, don't put that energy into the universe even if you think it. Put the energy out that, you are going to have a surgery that you are prepared to handle the pain and recovery process. Believe that you are worthy of whatever you envision and those will be your results with hard work and dedication. You are the only one physically going through this process, but you are not alone in this.

Besides, the rest of us January people need a very candid and detailed account from those of you before us. I live alone, so I need to know what to do and how to prepare my mind....

I live in Nevada, so my surgery center is in Vegas, so I figured I'd live it up with shows and fun.

I'm doing better; I had to call my surgeon to make sure imodium was ok. I'm sitting watching TV and sipping Water while I can- I have another 50 minutes before I can't have more until after.

I will keep y'all posted. I'm trying my best and I am very fortunate to have a lot of support, including you guys. It does make it feel so much better that I'm not alone in this.

The congratulations is because through all of the stress and panic, you made it through lady. Thankfully you had a team of professionals who helped you through the panic attack, praying for you and that pain.

Honestly (knock on wood), my back and throat hurt pretty bad, but that's about it. My throat because they did my endoscopy and leak test at the same time (I'm SO happy I didn't have to be awake for that). I'm up walking about every 30-45 minutes, and am super glad I can bring burps up pretty easy right now. My husband has to get me up to early every two hours tonight when I go to bed, so it's gonna be a long night.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
