Mell 38 Posted July 12, 2012 Everything is together finally and I'm scheduled for my sleeve surgery on the 28th of next month. I am beyond nervous. Things that are making me anxious: am I making the right decision, what if I don't lose as much as I need/want to, what if something happens, what if I'm miserable for the rest of my life, what if I lose a bunch of weight and turn into some kind of crazy bar *****....what if what if what if. Arrrg! Someone lie to me and tell everything is gonna be fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormWarning 194 Posted July 12, 2012 Hi Mell. Congratulations on starting your journey, and what a great journey this is going to be. Every single one of your thoughts and questions are completely normal, and I believe we have to ask ourselves those questions in order to move forward. Like FutureSkinnyPants mentioned, there is a thread for all us August sleevers. Come meet us. We are a great crowd that you can lean on when needed, cry with, cheer with, and understanding. 2 gustavo52974 and Mell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red597 35 Posted July 12, 2012 I am right there with you! I was originally scheduled for July 24th but had to change the date, which is fine. But I vacillate between being realyl excited and then the next minute, really nervous. I'm at peace with my decision, even if family members aren't, and I know that this is going to be the best thing for me in the long run, but jsut knowing that it's irreversible, life changing surgery is a tad bit nerve racking. But let's be excited together! 1 Mell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mell 38 Posted July 12, 2012 Thank you guys so much! I've never done any kind of forum or message board or anything before so it's super cool how many people responded. Red, youre exactly right, it's the permanence of it thats freaking me out I think. Cuz if it's wrong, it's wrong forever. Yikes. I think about my sister alot too though.she and I have always been the big ones in our family, and I almost feel kinda guilty that she'll have to be "the fat one" now, as she put it. shes def not making me feel guilty, thats all me. Jesus. This is bringing out way more baggage than I thought. I'm gonna need therapy lol. I am def going to keep involved here while this whole thing happens, I already kinda feel better talking about it. Laters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
