Surgery nerves



Recommended Posts

It's totally normal to have nerves. I had massive nerves right up until they put me under.

But seriously, I want to go back in time to pre-op fat me and shake my shoulders and go DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW AMAZING THIS TOOL IS SO STOP FREAKING OUT ALREADY.

yes, yes, yes and double yes. Just got mine Friday Nov 19 and got out of the hospital today. Was a non event except for the life changing surgery. Thought to myself I got nervous for nothing. Now comes the real work. Wish you the best of luck!

I was very afraid too. The time went fast and the next thing I knew it was surgery day. The first 48 hours were the toughest. Just remember to walk as much as you can. I did 10 minute walks every hour during the day. I think it helped to get my stomach settled. The first sips were yucky. Room temp crystal light is what tasted best to me. Hang in there, you’ll do fine!

I too am having a serious case of the nerves. I like what was said though, we would be robots if we weren’t nervous over something like this.” Makes me feel a little better.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
