Holy Cow surgery monday! So much anxiety & fear

[asherje 81]

Talk about breaking my heart. My son (5) and I were talking and I said I was scared about my surgery Monday and he goes "you can always see me from heaven and I can remember you in my mind" shocked I have him able to understand, then floored told him don't kill me off so quick.

So of course I end up bawling. I'm just scared. Nothing about the actually surgery scares me, I have a high pain tolerance, not worried about stitches, just dying and not being there for my son.

Kids are so smart. My boys (6) and (10) are SUPER EXCITED about my surgery on Wednesday.

Congrats!!! Your feelings are normal. Last wk about this time I was feeling the same way. I had my surgey last Monday. while changing into my hostipal gown i looked at my husband and said, i change my mind lets go before they come and get me. He laughed and said yea right for the last three months thats all you been focusing on so get it done you know you want to. I was joking and he know it was just nerves talking. I am so thankful my insurance started paying for the sleeve this year. If i had to do this over i would. before you know it you will be home sipping on Protein Drinks and Soup broth and Jello. Wishing you best of luck on your journey to a healthy you. You can do this, I will have you in my prayers!

Thanks guys, I love this site it's the best support from those who are in our same shoes.

Now shifted my worries to the fact I have to lose weight by tomorrow morning. I was down 7lbs Friday morning, this morning it went back up 4lbs. Seriously? Hoping its because Friday and Saturday drank a ton of chicken broth, praying it was from all the sodium. I've already drank 54oz of Water this morning and dietetic, praying it comes back off.

OMG now I'm scared. I'm going to workout today at the gym, so I'll weigh myself there. I've been doing what I'm supposed to be doing so I'm praying I dropped some pounds. Right before my last consult and liquid diet, I lost 6 of the pounds I gained back, so I'm sure I lost more.

I'm tomorrow too! I think the "pre-freak out" is normal. I'm a little anxious myself.

kids sometimes say the most awesome things, but I am assuming he is one of the reasons you decided to have this surgery because you want to be there

to see him grow up. I am only 4 days out but I am sorry that I waited until I was 51 to do the surgery, I think my health suffered and so many things

i might have enjoyed with my children had I not been overweight. Hoping to make up with the grandkids!

I am having surgery on Tuesday and I am so weak from the liquids and have such a screaming headache that I'm starting to wonder if this is really for me...and I'm so nervous! I've been wanting this for years too so I'll go thru with it but when I feel so bad now it's hard to know how bad I'll feel afterwards.

[asherje 81]

Nerves shot, stomach doing flip flops, on top of Peeing like crazy from all the fluids now I'm having other issues. Ugh. 24mins til my son goes to the evil ex

So jittery think I'm gonna hurl lol

Best wishes for all of you having surgery tomorrow.

Best advice is, do what they say! Sip and sip and sip!

I don't have any advice, I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in your worries.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
