The Anxiety Is Killing Me! Anybody Else?

[JustSleeveMe23 15]

Surgery in general is not that bad! Although I've never had THIS surgery (yet) I've been put under 5 times for various reasons. Sure, you'll have some pain afterwards, but you can manage it.

But don't be scared of the surgery! I'd rather have the surgery than a root canal - ANY DAY.

I am July 2nd and it seems sooo long to go. At the moment I'm under heaps of pressure at work and my weight is causing me all sorts of aches and pains that are just not helping with stress. I am really looking forward to the surgery but I'm also pretty nervous that I might be that "one" that is the exception with complications etc.

I'm in a similar boat to you Justsleeveme23 - the only surgery I've ever had was to remove my appendix when I was about 11- so I'm quite apprehensive too! No idea what it will feel like!

.I'm going to be on my own at home and also on my own for quite a while after the surgery while I recover (no family here and most of my friends will go away over the summer) so I'm hoping my few supportive friends will keep in touch.

Good luck Kellythestarr- hang in there!

kelly-- Yay!! My surgery is May 1st as well!! Can you believe that this is the last weekend of our "old life"? It's so surreal. The anxiety does get overwhelming at times but I keep my eyes fixed on the incredible things that are about to happen.

Congrats to everyone on upcoming sleeves! We CAN do this

Is anyone worried about dying? I know the chances are really slim, but I can't help but keep thinking about it.

I'm also going to write letters to my husband & sons for them to read in case I die. I just feel like I need to be prepared. But i'm also the type that I've already made a spreadsheet of what to do with I insurance money in case my husband and I both happened to die at once. I just feel its important to be prepared

I think about it sometimes. Its like, I am not overly concerned about it but, I sure will be glad when I wake up and its over and I'm fine ya know...I have 4 kids. And 3 are from a previous marriage. Their Dad has been mostly absent from their lives as we divorced when the kids were very little so, my husband and I are all they have...and we are very close so I just don't want anything to go wrong...

My surgery is May 2.... i am so excited, anxious, happy, scared and thankful.....i have been in a wheelchair for almost a year because of my weight... I have had 2 back surgeries and the stomach weight makes it impossible to walk... My goal is "to walk again"!!! good luck everyone!
