Thanks for the replies folks... I am scheduled for the 11 or the 12 of September. I will find out today evening as to when it will really happen. I really appreciate your support and hope that all goes well on the day. I guess I just have to keep focusing on the positives and speaking to my Doctor as I get closer to the surgery.

Hi everyone, I am on my liquid pre op diet and keep thinking about the gastric sleeve. I think and read a lot about it and love the positive sides that i will be a fitter person but then get stuck up on the negatives like - 1. What if I have complications like leaks 2. What happens if I develop issues like acidity, GERD, infections, clots etc. 3. What if i don't make it out of the procedure and it becomes a fatality. 4. What if i can't handle the pressures and stress of working in a high stress environment (I am a consultant working in a top accounting firm) I am a 34 year old Indian guy with a young infant at home & am 290 lbs. I want to be fit to enjoy life, see my son grow and play with him in the yard without huffing and puffing and most of all fit into smaller size clothes. My nervousness is causing me to have a weird feeling around my tummy or maybe its the pre op liquid diet. Eitherways i need help and support from you all....please advice and encourage me to take my first step in the right direction instead of chickening out
