Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Post Op: Right Out of Surgery

[SOiTiSTrUe]

You had a panic attack? I have anxiety disorder, and I am soooo scared I will have a panic attack, were they able to calm you down? Thats my biggest fear, Mine is May 12th

I told them in advance that I had anxiety issues and that I would likely have a panic attack and so they were prepared for it and gave me something right away when it occurred. I calmed down right away and continued to recover. Be sure to let your surgical staff know that you are anxiety prone and what you require and they should take great care of you :) Rest easy - you will do great!

Thank you! It only took 61 minutes! I have never had a problem with my veins before. It was an unwelcome surprise.

u look so pretty after just coming out of surgery.

[BeTheBestMe]

You are so sweet :) I was sooo medicated.

[kissygurl87]

i bet, lol i had a c section, so i figure that they have to be pretty close to eachother.

I can relate to the bruising. My veins are difficult to find also, so having blood drawn in always so unpleasant. My surgery is in 3 days, and I can only hope I look as good as you do afterwards. Congratulations! Can't wait to see your next update!!!

[BeTheBestMe]

Good luck! I am sure you will do great! It really was a piece of cake. I thought it was going to be a lot worse than it was.

Welcome Welcome Welcome to the losers bench, come on sit down there is plenty of room!

I'm so happy everything went well. I think they have trouble finding everyones veins since we stop eating/drinking pre-surgery. I had my 3 month blood test and my vein kept rolling it was funny to watch the tech try to find it over and over again. Obviously needles don't bother me! Speedy recovery and I look forward to watching your journey!

[BeTheBestMe]

Thank you! It feels great, surreal but great to be here FINALLY!! Yay!!!
