Upcoming Surgery Nerves

My surgery is coming up Monday, and at first, I was so excited. But now, as it is getting closer, each day I'm getting a little more nervous. Reading all of the discussions on OH has definitely helped. So, I was wondering if anyone had any last minute advice or things I should expect after surgery?

My RNY surgery was 7/1. I was pretty out of it the entire day of surgery, although they did make me get up and walk. Pain has been very manageable. I struggled with nausea but the doctor gave me Zofran and it worked like a charm. I'm impatient with my recovery but it helps to remember that each day I'm a bit better and I'm a million times better than I was a week ago. You'll do great!

Thank you so much! I think I was most worried about the pain after surgery. So, that makes me feel much better! Congratulations on your surgery, and best of luck for a speedy recovery! 

Im ten years out, there are so many little things i could tell you, but the best advise I can give you is to exercise.  exercise.  exercise.  As soon as the Dr. clears you, exercise every day.  There are days that i have to force myself to exercise, but i think it has helped me keep my weight off.  I did not get down as far as my Dr. thinks I should have but I am healthy and I can hike mountains ( , chase my nephews, go to the lake/river with my kids etc,)Good Luck! P.S. I get tears in my eye when I am on the top of mountain, so happy that my body can do this.  Find out what exercise you like, try different things.  I also like boxing, hitting the speed bag.  Mostly hiking.  I seek out new ones and love every minute of it.
