Don't you dare talk yourself out of it! We are all here for all of you. After surgery will test you, I won't lie but in a week you'll be like, wow, I'm so happy I did this. It's the best decision I've ever made and I've been sick most of my 6 months post op due to gallbladder probs and I'm 4 days post op of gallbladder surgery right now but I can tell you lap band is the best decision I've ever made for myself and it will be for you too. You can do it! I know all of you are nervous as we all were, it's natural but keep in mind why you want it done and focus on that. Prayers coming to all of you!

Ok, we can create our own group catastrophizers!!

We will be great, we will have our surgery as scheduled, no colds/flus, no doctors running off with nurses!!

Mind you this pep talk is coming from someone with a diagnosed panic disorder!

so if you think you are worried, pffff, I wrote

the book on how to imagine the worst!

Now how about we TRY to look on the bright side.

I'm super nervous and like a couple others I have thought about not going thru with it because I'm scared. I to keep thinking what if something goes wrong what if I get sick it's nerve wrecking! But I'm 2 days away from surgery and I'm hoping my nerves go away.

My procedure is the 17th and I've been a hot mess...strangely enough my biggest obsession is wondering if my liver will be small enough..I'm on my diet and following it well but I'm still freaked out about it cuz then I can't have my procedure that day :-(

I met with my Dr. today for the last meeting before surgery (17th). The conversation turned to me giving him advise! "Please don't stay out late on Sunday" , Do you feel well? Drink lots of Orange juice this week. He just laughed and said I was going to do great. But still...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
