I am new to this site, and I needed some encouragement. I just got my call from the pre-op nurse with all of my instructions for the morning of my surgery. I am scheduled September 2nd at 7am, and I am freaking out in a good and bad way. I am excited about the changes that are coming. I have a friend that did the sleeve almost a year ago and she has had nothing but amazing results. She's lost over 85lbs, and still losing, but now my mom is really scared for me. I understand I'm her child, and any parent should be scared, but she's been asking me to reconsider. She was with me when the doctor talked to me about the surgery and said it's irreversable, and of course he has to go through the good and bad. I've been in the medical field and know that doctors have to give all of the good the bad and the ugly about any procedure.
I think my mom is getting to me, and I'm almost considering cancelling it all together. I think, though, I'm not happy right now, and nothing else has worked.
Anyone have any thoughts about all of this?
