Recommended Posts

I go in tomorrow morning for the band and I am now nervous. Up to this point I was calm and ready but now I am somewhat freaking out!! I know I will be ok but now is when I am thinking about all the things that could go wrong. I have had numerous surgeries that were have to cases...I am not sure if is because this is one I chose to do but man am I nervous. Probably nervous because this is the start of the rest of my life of happiness, and less pain from all the ailments that come with being overweight. :wink2:

Ida,

You should be excited, this is a big day. AND you are going to do wonderfully. Just think of all of the success that is waiting in front of you.. A little bit of pain, for a whole lot of personal gain and pride.

As long as you are confident in your surgeon, you know you are in good hands.

PLEASE keep us updated as we will be rooting for you.

Be Well

Yay! Don't stress too bad! *haha* I was a total nervous wreck before my surgery too. It ended up to be no trouble at all! Before you know it you'll be waking up after the surgery and ready to start the healing process. I feel like my life has finally taken a turn in the right direction after my surgery, and before you know it you'll feel the same way. Good luck!

ida...same thing happened to me. i wasnt nervous till right before surgery.

what calmed me down was thinking about all the successful people that had gone before me and were glad they did it. they had new lives they were living. this really made me feel better

good luck and breathe deeply if you get scared....

it will be the best decision you ever made for yourself (or at least one of them)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
