It's getting closer and closer to 2/13. I remember when I first started posting it felt like a lifetime away. I am getting very nervous. Anyone else nervous?

I am trying to just to stay calm. I know this is the right life tool choice for me.

Totally get it! I had a panic attack the other night. Couldn't sleep.

Yep I'm the same. I see people who keep saying they're excited like they're going to disney....I can't even comprehend that. I'm at the point where I'm just questioning whether or not I think I can do this. I'm looking at a lot of my life and thinking just how is this going to work?

Juny , what is your biggest fear is it the lifestyle change or the actual surgery itself? I cannot offer any sage wisdom because I myself am pre-op But I can do all the things I need to do post surgery in a snap, I am just having a hard time with actually going under. I have all the confidence in te world in my Dr but I just fear the unknown and HATE being conscious. SCARY!

Maybe some others can talku down and make you feel better about it. I know they have for me.

For me it's the lifestyle change I think, at least in the short term. I'm worried about everything from constipation/diarrhea and how to have lunch w/ my colleagues to serious complications and what if I make a mistake choosing this surgery.

Mostly I'm resolved....But I've had a lot of time just waiting for the surgery date so a lot of doubt and worry has crept in.

For me it's the surgery in general and anesthesia specifically. I have an anesthesia phobia.

I think it would be odd not to be nervous! I'm 2 days before you so will try to post my experience for you. I'm heading down to the Marriott the night before and I already asked if its okay to take Ambien the night before - yes, thank goodness!

I think it helps that the next three weeks are really busy for me. It will be here before we know it!

      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.
