I have had 3 c sections, two were emergency and my last was planned. I have also had my gall bladder removed. I survived those just fine. I am terrified I can't survive the sleeve surgery. I think its all in my head. Can anyone share their experiences with these verses the VGS?

I am just starting this process. Next month is my seminar, then the consult. I am looking for someone to mentor me on this. My bff has a lap band so I do get a little help from her but it's obvious not the same. I just need someone to bounce things off of and advice etc

Thanks! I do get a great deal of info from reading these forums. Im so glad they are here.

This is pretty comforting to hear. My last c section was planned and I felt the recovery was OK and my gall bladder removal wasnt to bad either. Maybe I CAN do this!!!

That helps me a lot to hear that. Thanks

I have not had the surgery yet so I'm totally no help.... just wanted to say congrats on your date. My birthday is March 9th so your post caught my eye -
Hello everyone. I just started my journey. I haven't yet spoken with a surgeon only have the referral. Im scared to death. I know its common and everyone gets a little scared but as I picture myself going into surgery Im afraid I will chicken out. I do have severe anxiety so that doesn't help. I know its not very likely I will not make it out and I have to do this or I will reach a early death. Im just about to be 37, 5ft 2, 255 pounds. I have been this weight since I had my first child 19 yrs ago. Not only am I anxious about the surgery, I'm scared of the results. LOL... sounds ridiculous, I know. All I have really known is this weight. I know in my heart I will be so happy, but my head is running wild with thoughts of not knowing myself anymore. I dont handle change well, but I really want to be healthy. Counseling will help hopefully. Im also a huge sugar addict and love carbs (hence why I am at this weight). Which I have learned will be a big no no if I want to be successful. Anyone else have things fears and hurdles?
