Yes, this is totally normal... I've been through lap band surgery before, a removal, and now this... I have felt both scared AND excited, each time. Here's to your sleeve! :(

YES! I'm the 25th too. So far I'm just excited and haven't been scared yet, although visualizing the last few moments with my husband and son before they wheel me off to surgery causes some anxiety. I expect to get very little sleep the night before and to be very anxious the morning of... looking forward already to getting the happy drugs they put in the IV early on. :laugh0:

TOTALLY! I'm scheduled for the 27th so we'll be on the same track. Best of luck!

I am the 25th too! I am feeling very excited and the only thing I am nervous about is the post diet. I am positive that I will feel some anxiety that morning, but I fully intend to ask for some relaxing medicine beforehand!

I was sleeved on Jan. 14th and yes you are SO right. There are so many emotions that will go through you until you get on the operating table but it will be worth it!!

Hang in there girl. We're all rootin' for ya.

I'm on the 25th too. I am so excited but terrified at the same time myself so I know exactly where you are coming from. I never thought this day would come.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
