Surgery tueaday with mr ackroyd!!! Very scared :(

Hi hune, its only natural to be nervous, i am sure most people would be, it would not be normal to be a bit nervous. I have not had my op yet, but i too am scared for all sorts of reasons, but when i think about it logically i know i have so much to gain by having it done; where would i be in 5 years if i didnt have it done, just think about your first christmas how u will feel having lost a few stone, how you will look in your new christmas outfit, how you will feel. I do worry about all sorts of things, but there are so many people who have had it done, and been so sucessful, i am sure your worried about not coming around after the op, or complications but they are few and far between, and you i am sure will be fine, just look at all the people on here who have had it done, were scared, and were ok and did so well, and you will be one of them hune. hope this helps
 
Hi thank you , I am worrying about not coming round after op. I have 2 children an just keep thinking am I been selfish for putting myself at risk and not having the will power to have been successful in other ways :(
 
Hi, everyone thinks exactly the same about not waking up from the op, I thought exactly the same, and it is only natural. I have 2 kids, and a grandchild and I thought exactly the same however, what I thought about more is how I am going to be post op, the things i would be able to do with them and the better our lives would be. I am now 4 1/2 weeks post op, and I am feeling fantastic and already have more energy to roll about with the grandson. You'll get there too. This time next week it'll all be done and you'll be home.
Good luck lovely, keep us posted.

If you see any of my pre-op threads, you will read about my absolute fear or anaesthetic, as a single mum I totally get how you feel, and it took me 7 years to get to the point of being able to book a consultation.

In the few days before my op, I had my will drawn up, my funeral wishes and on the morning while sat at the hospital I even wrote a letter to my son. My fear of not waking up was immense and made me incredibly anxious. my BP on the morning of surgery was through the roof, and I sat in the pre-theatre room shaking so much I couldn't even sit on the stool for them to put the canula in.

I am not going to say "you'll be fine" because I know that will not take away the fears that you have, it is normal to be nervous, for me it is about not being in control of myself and placing myself into anothers hands . . .doesn't work well for me, but, I am now 11 days post op.

I still have those fears and know that I would still have them if I had to go through another GA, people telling me you will be fine doesn't help. I even found a provider which had a zero % mortality rate for doing surgery to try to help put my mind at rest.

So I get it, totally. If you want to chat, Im always here to listen :)
 
Ahhhhh I remember that feeling on the day before surgery, it's horrible isn't it. The next 24 hours will come and go and before you know it, it will all be done. We will be thinking of you, stay strong, just this hurdle to get over and then....SLIM TOWN HERE YOU COME !! XX
 
Thanks guys I've only ever ha an op once and that was my gall bladder, I'm not exaggerating when i say I was crying like a baby on way down to theatre and then had ro give me oxygen and literally hold me down. I know I'll be these tomorrow and am just dressing it :( I can't wait untill I'm back on here saying I'm awake and fine!
 
Good Luck for tomorrow, hope you have a speedy recovery xxx
 
No need to worry at all Mr Ackroyd is one of the very best bariatric surgeons, added to the fact he's a lovely personable guy too, you really are in the best hands possible.
He did my bypass 2 weeks ago at The Thornbury and I haven't felt so great in years as I do now.
Lots of luck to both of you and don't worry!
Em xxxx
