nervous !

Triker

Let me be the 1rst to welcome you into sleeveland

i/most people had many mixed feelings prior to WLS

being nervous is at the top of the list

you are going to be starting your new life after being sleeved

you will be on the way to health and happiness

try to calm down a bit (easier said than done )

we are all different post surgery with our recovery, weight loss - life in general

never ever compare yourself to others

people have been shot for less

follow all the rules - always, always listen to your NUT and surgeon

drink plenty of Water (at least 64 oz)

do not drink for about 45 minutes after you eat

never drink with your meal

chew each bite thoroughly!!!!

and eat slllllowly

good luck

Nervous is completely normal. While we can never compare, none of the things that I feared came to pass and I found the surgery and first week much easier than I expected. Having a plan of what you will do should something you fear happens can help alleviate some of your anxiety, though. Also, going back over stats for complications was helpful to me when I was feeling anxious. Best of luck to you. Wish you the best!
