Scared to death



Recommended Posts

I got up yesterday morning with a very sore port site. It feels like the day after youve been hit in the stomach. It hurts when I put any kind of pressure on it. It also kind of feels like I have pulled a muscle. This is the wierdest thing, and it truly scares me because its nothing I have experienced before.

I guess in the back of my mind Im wondering if I have hurt myself, because I have been doing a lot of overeating lately?????

Help, what could this be......slippage, erosion, flipped port.....those are all the things I have read about.....what do Ya'll think?:thumbup:

Waiting all weekend without knowing something is going to drive me nuts. On top of the discomfort I feel so weak and fatigued. I havent done anything all day except lay on the couch. Everytime I get up to do something I get so winded...this just started yesterday too......Im really scared!

Call your doctor, NOW or go to the emergency room. Don't wait until Monday. Don't feel like you are inconviencing him... his job is to take care of you and he knew he would would be on call 24 hours a day when he went into this profession.

      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
