Surgery in the AM SOOOOOO Nervous!!!!!!!
I am doing the clear liquids today in prep for tomorrow. Went to pre testing yesterday and signed the papers, cried all the way home. I am so scared of complication. I have kids! Why I ask myself ; do I have to be like this, food having so much control over my brains that I need to get my stomach cut out just to stop eating? I am afraid of complication, can;t wait for the restriction and the control. Have a lap band and was so happy with it. I just fear the worst ten times worse than when i had both of my lap bands put in.
Everyone is different. However, my surgery went on with no problems. I haven't had any problems after-wards either. I have followed the rules 99%. I was a concerned and anxious pre-op about complications as well but my hubby and prayer got me through it. I will pray for you to have peace and an excellent surgery with no complications.
I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!

I just had my surgery just over 2 weeks ago and I was very nervous the day before just like you, but when I got to the hospital on surgery day I was fine. I am sure you picked a great doctor and he/she will take care of you. I am already back to work and feel great. The surgery was very easy for me and I had very little pain and the pain I did have was well controlled with the medication they were giving me. The hardest part is over, the waiting!!!
I would have been terrified to have a lap band, but I was not nervous at all about the VSG. I had a really good experience. I work in the surgery dept at my hospital, but had the surgery in a different state. I asked them to give me Zofran and decadron preop, and I was not nauseated at all post op. I also had no post op pain once I got out of recovery room. Had a terrific surgeon.
Have really good restriction.
Love my sleeve.

Think positive thoughts my dear! You will be thru this in no time and on your way to such a wonderful way of life. It is truly the best thing ive ever done and I am living my life so much happier and healthier - I never could have done this on my own. Its so easy to say "why can't I do this and why do I have to go to such an extreme" but believe me afterward and down the line you will be sooo glad you made this decision. Also I had no complications and no pain post op. I've lost my acid reflux and went off blood pressure meds. Only take vitamins now and that's a great feeling. Also I'm exercising everyday and loving it for the first time in my life!!! God bless you and my best wishes to you!!! Take care...
