Having a attack hurts bad .. Ugh cant wait until out

What did you tell your kids ? Or did you? I have a 11 year old, 4 and 11mo and before surgery I need to know if should say what doing or say goodbyes .. However feel like goodbye is little much bc I don't feel like going to die... So I think my 11 yr old knows but should I ask if he has questions? What do I say to 4 yr old?

Thank you all for your input.

Congrats

Had my pre op appt. today shocking I didn't have many questions, I have read and looked Into everything to point of freaking myself out and back. I did learn I have no required weight loss before hand which was something I was worried about. Also only limited on what I can lift for 2 weeks ( my youngest is 11mo). I need this so bad, found odd its exactly one year after I woke up in hospital to dr telling me I was lucky to be alive, so I have faith this yr on 12th I will wake up to good news. Because last yr on 12 th I woke up in hospital and scared to death bc I didn't know where my kids were and not understanding why dr told me I was lucky to be alive bc last thing I remembered was putting my 3 yr old sons clothes on. Well turns out I had 5-7 seizures before getting to hospital and was in congestive heart failure... Shocking bc I had just had a baby 4 days before and my blood pressure was little high but they said I was fine. I come back and they can't get under control and said seizures were my bodies way of saying hey ur about to have heart attack or stoke. I had to stop breast feeding and laying in a hospital bed for a week to try and lower blood pressure I got really sick and depressed think why did this happen to me, I have 3 boys to tAke care of I can't die . Well this started my weight loss journey again, always had issues but knew at 280lbs I would die if didn't do something. While in hospital I lost 50 lbs and was so happy until it slowly came back.... I had a bad year doctors..money issues..court things and I'm up to 265.8 today I'm so mad at myself but march 12th my life will improve and I'm doing this for me... So pre op diet tomorrow the start of something good... I hope.

Had today lot of gas in stomach feel very bloated and kinda upset but over all In and out 30mins after waiting for hours.

I have EGD on Thursday what should I expect ?

Well I didn't have fears until family started in, and don't want me to do. But I want this and have faith it will be ok. Right? My date is 3-12 so coming soon, pre-op diet starts on 2-26. 1st fear failure during pre-op diet, 2nd infection, 3rd death. I need this and going thru with even tho family against, my kids need me for a long time. I just don't want to be selfish getting this done, is it selfish? Am I putting myself before my kids, could I lose the weight on my own? I have attempted so many times, and keep getting bigger a 100 lbs over weight I feel like I'm not me. I feel ugly and fat and like everyone is looking at how big I am now...so are my fears just that or me letting others in.

Thank you all I needed to hear that
