My Time has started - I AM SCARED



Recommended Posts

Hello I am Sarah and I started this process over two years ago. I first started with insurance then lost my job and went to the whole Mexico thing. Research so much that I thought I knew everything however that was not true LOL. I am now back to the insurance process in the USA and almost done witht he approval process. This has been very stressful "HURRAY UP AND WIAT" LOL

I have my date set for 12/31/13 what a way to bring in the new year. I am really scard that I am going to fail this process and be fat for the rest of my life. Everyone say that I will do fine but I just am worried...

Does anyone else have this same fear?

I was scared but so ready for surgery. You will do fine, keep a POSITIVE attitude, do what the surgeon tells you to do and you will be OK. Good luck and Happy New Year !

Congrats on your surgery date first of all! Second of all, RELAX! You will not fail if you follow your surgeon's plan! It sounds like you have jumped through hoops to make this happen, so you obviously WANT it. You have also done your research so you should know what to expect. I am fairly sure that EVERYONE has the same fear of failing when going into such a big surgery because we have all failed at dieting before.

It is important to remember that this is only a "tool" and you must continue to do your part!

the weight WILL come off and you will be amazed! :D I wish you the best of luck and remember that we are here if and when you need some support! GOOD LUCK!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
