Topic: RE: Pre Surgery Jitters?
i have a pretty good tolerance for pain, i am just scared of the meds and infection risks, leaks
supposedly my surgeon rarely has patients with leaks. hopefully i am not going to be the statistic, i know i will be good about not pushing my limits on how much i am eating.

Topic: RE: Pre Surgery Jitters?
I'm not big on taking meds, either, but I'm also not a big fan of pain! I have had surgery before, and for me, it was no big deal. I didn't have any problems with the anesthetics, and stopped taking the pain meds by the 2nd day. This when when I shattered my arm and they had to rebuild it with a titanium rod and plates. If I can end the pain meds so quickly for that, I hope to be as fortunate with my VSG.

i am getting laparoscopic, which is the better option but i am afraid of the anesthetics and medications and everything. i hope i wont have allergies. i never take any meds.
Topic: RE: are you excited? my date is coming up pretty soon now.

Topic: Buddy up!
If you would like to volunteer to be someone's buddy, or are looking for a buddy, let us know. A buddy will be someone who checks in on you on the evening of your surgery to see how you are doing. They will then relay the update to the group if you aren't able to give us the news yourself. You can have them call you at the hospital, or call a friend/family member, or whatever is going to work for you.
You might want to make sure you and your buddy don't have dates too close to eachother's, so you aren't both overwhelmed at the same time. It might be hard to be encouraging or uplifting if you are feeling challenged with recovery, yourself.
So, let me be the first to say....I'd love to be someone's buddy. Since I'm not scheduled until 2/28, I can check in on pretty much anyone! Who needs a buddy? Let me know and I will get your contact info from a private message.
Want a buddy or want to be one to someone else...post it here! Be sure to check back often.
