I just had mine done on 12/28. I went thru the same fears. My hubby was my rock. He was with me 100% of the time. I have battled for years with my weight & I was tired. I would lose weight only to gain it back.

You'll be fine post-op. I personally have no hunger. My mind wants me to eat but my stomach isn't hungry. it's crazy. I have a friend who had the band done & still was hungry. She lost quite a bit but gained some back.

I previously had my gallbladder out 2 years ago. Honestly - the pain/discomfort from the VSG is the same as the gallbladder.

Im in very begining stages of wls...still waiting for seminar..lol. But its nice to know the pain and discomfort is not much diff from gallbladder surgery, i had mine removed years ago and it was nothing!!

Im out of surgery! I made it.. I feel so blessed for thos opportunity! A bit sore and extremely thirsty.. but doing good

[SweetnCurvy 112]

I'm worried about whether or not I'll be able to do this for the rest of my life' date=' and I'm worried about dying LOL I have no idea why this is a big worry, but it is.

I have a band and am doing revision to the sleeve. I never had these worries with the band.

Are these second thoughts/fears normal?[/quote']

Yes totally normal! If u were not worried I would think something is wrong with you. Good luck! U will do great:)

I'm done! And I didn't die

So far not too much pain, really only gas pain and soreness at the old port site, otherwise tired and fine.

Thanks so much for the support getting through the fear.

I also had surgery on Jan. 11th and was a wreck going in. I am so proud of myself and my sleeve sisters for being strong and brave. Yay! We did it!

[LMFAO575 112]

Sleeved 5 days ago, had your same fears. It's totally normal. I had many friends, family, coworkers praying for me and come time for surgery, I felt an overwhelming calm! I knew everything was going to be alright!! If you're a believer, just ask for prayers. Before we left to the hospital my husband hugged me and said "GOODBYE" to my big ass & big boobs!!!!!

[missrose59 9]

tomorrow I will join you all!!! Im a little nervous but reading all your posts really helps. Hope you all continue to feel well...

wish me luck
