I haven't been sleeved yet, but I suspect that quite a few people experience what you're experiencing...doubt & worry!I think that's a pretty normal (and even healthy!) reaction and I'm sure when I'm 3 days out from my surgery date, I'll be rowing the same boat...

Like you, I'm only arranging to take a week off --- once I lose a significant amount of weight, I'll be going for knee replacement surgery & will need LOTS more time off for that...so I'm saving as much as I can!

Please let us know how you're doing!

Very best wishes!

YOUR FEELINGS ARE VERY NORMAL. I WAS SLEEVED ON 7-11-11 AND FELT THE SAME WAY U DID. I ONLY HAD TO DO ONE DAY WITH LIQUIDS BUT 2 WEEKS WITH A LOW CARB LOW CALORIE HIGH PROTEIN DIET- AND I CHEATED TWICE-- BUT STILL LOST 20 LBS PRE OP. YOU WILL FEEL EVEN MORE NERVOUS ON THE DAY OF SURGERY -- IT IS NORMAL- BUT YOU WILL BE FINE. I EVEN STARTED TO CRY ON THE OR TABLE-- AND I AM A REGISTERED NURSE AND WORK IN THE HOSPITAL AND I WAS TERRIFIED. TAKE YOUR TIME HEALING IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, DONT PUSH YOURSELF TOO HARD. I AM TAKING 6 WEEKS OFF BECAUSE MY JOB IS VERY PHYSICAL AND I WALK ALL DAY LONG (12 HRS DAY) YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO FMLA(FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ) AND DISABILITY- THEY WILL SUPPLEMENT YOUR INCOME. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

I am 8 days away from my surgery and I too am very anxious and questioning whether this is the right thing for me. I am on day 2 of the liquid diet-bleck. I'm tired and hungry, but I don't want to jeopardize my surgery. I'm glad to hear these feelings are normal.
