Hi all! I'm new to this site and trying to figure things out.. Not sure if its the site or my phone but it doesn't want to update my profile or picture... Anyways.. I'm scheduled for surgery on November 10th... Anyone else scheduled around this time? I need some support and people who are experiencing the same/similar things I am! I'm beyond scared to have the surgery... I have never in my life had a surgery or heck even a stitch! I sometimes want to back out or find myself talking myself out of the surgery.. I hope I'm not the only one! I see a lot of people excited for their surgery and don't get me wrong, I'm excited but more scared. Well, looking forward to meeting new people and going through this journey with someone who understands or can relate.

Yes! Definitely excited for the results! Have they started you on any liquid diet? Or has there been any mention of it? My surgeon hasn't said anything about a liquid diet before hand just a diet 2 weeks before surgery to lose some weight.

Very true! I'm most scared for the unknown! What to expect afterwards... I know once I'm home and it's done with ill be just fine. Once I set my mind to something I'm pretty head strong. For some reason the surgery part is freaking me out. I'm worried that like you, I'll have a panic attack or start bawling uncontrollably!

I am scheduled for surgery on November 10... Yikes! Scared outta my mind. I have days where I'm excited and think okay I can do this then other days I want to back out! I'm quite concerned though as I haven't heard anything about a liquid diet before surgery that's everyone is talking about... I do have to do a diet about 2 weeks before the surgery. But nothing mentioned of a clear liquid diet..
