Topic: RE: Only 21 more days
I am worried about theanesthesia myself. I have not had any trouble before, but I just feel each time is a risk. I am also worried about the pain. I have a lap band and they will have to remove scar tissue before doing the sleeve. To add to this, if there is too much scar tissue, they will have to remove it and then wait several months to do the sleeve surgery. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be ok. I do agree about the foley. Although it is not been painful for me in the past. I am not looking forward to it, lol.

Topic: RE: Nice to meet you June Sleevers
Hi there my name is Melissa. I live in New Mexico but am traveling to AZ to get the VSG. I'm 32 yrs old and married for going on 12 yrs in Aug. I have one beautiful daughter 11. Might have more after I reach goal idk I'm conflicted on that one lol. My surgery is June 27th I have been approved by my insurance for a couple of months but it was better for me to schedule when my daughter was out of school. The waiting has been killing me I would love to just get the actual surgery part over with. I'm excited yet very scared I have had surgery before but I'm just scared I want to be here for my daughter and husband. I decided if I don't do the surgery my health wont get any better. I have high blood pressure but have gotten that under control with meds ( hope to get off them after surgery). I'm too young to feel so old! I tend to sit on the side lines I'm never in any pictures and I'm not happy about that. I hope to feel better and be able to do more with my family. I did really bad during my 6months of waiting to see if I was approved for surgery by my insurance and I ate like I was never going to be able to eat again I'm soooo a stress eater. But Ive got on track and am eating small portions and healthy food and exercising and I started losing again. I have about 10 more pound I need to get off before surgery, Nice to meet everyone here feel free to add me on here. :)

I understand your issue with the catheter. I had a hysterectomy 10 years ago and when they took mine out my bladdar started spasms and then they had to put it back in and I was in pain for over an hour before they got me "good" pain meds. So hope I don't have that issue again. As for being put to sleep, I've not had any problems before so don't worry about that. My biggest "silly" worry I think I've got is that they will go in to do my surgery and find out there is something wrong with me and they can't do the surgery. But, I'm sure we'll all come out just fine

Personnally I don't feel it at all.
What bothers me is to be put asleep with "Anesthesia by intravenous injection" (sorry I am not sure of the translation of this, hope you'll know what I mean), because my veins are not straight, and nobody beleives me when I tell them that I can make the liquid to stop coming in my arm, just by moving. Now you'll tell me not to move, but I am scared that once I am put to sleep, my arm will move or be moved in the middle of the intervention and that I will suffer the pain cause I'll be awake and nobody will know!
I am crazy! lol!!

Yeah I have had quite a few folies :( They just make me sooo uncomfortable I do not even want to move. Hopefully he will write orders to remove it ASAP!
