soooooo nervous about up coming surgery!

[re14768 72]

I'm feeling so stressed out today. May have surgery sometime in March. Today I feel sad,stress, nervous,scared. Like I want to cry. I should be happy, but my nerves is getting the best of me. I'm thinking it may be because of the outcome of the surgery. Anyone else's emotions getting the best of them?

Mine did. I was originally scheduled for December 2013. I got such cold feet that I cancelled my surgery. I'm back on now for 3-11-14. I think it's very normal to be scared. It's good that you're going into this fully aware of all possible outcomes. I spent a little too much time in the "complications" forum though, lol. It's ok if you're not ready yet too.

I think at some point, like for me, the benefits out way the risks. These forums also have helped tremendously. I don't post much, but I read a lot. It's so good to see peoples' success stories. The people on here seem to be very supportive, so don't be afraid to reach out.

All the best to you.

I have surgery tomorrow. (If you count today Monday) and I'm still excited. I'm sure the nerves will get to me eventually.

But... The past month I have been overly emotional and I know that it's because I'm feeling so many different emotions about this surgery all at once. There were more days of excitement than anything, but I get bitchy, sad, scared, depressed. Lol. It doesn't help that I have bipolar disorder either

_Hello,

_{I was sleeved earlier this year, and I was wreck. BUT, the worries were much worse than the surgery. Im so blessed to have completed the process and very happy I am done. It was not bad at all, and I am down more than 40 lbs. I have had no regrets, except that I wish I had done this years ago.}

_{God is good! I love my sleeve.}

My sister & I have both eaten ourselves into oblivion so were going into this together. She's 5 days post op, mines Monday. She's still in pain and still ecstatic & bouncing. We'll get there. Xx

Honestly if I let myself think too much about it, I get terrified. However, doing nothing is killing me...just slowly. I've been all over the map emotionally and I think some of that is grief, knowing I'm going to have to give up food! I try very hard to focus on the positives and think about all the things I'll be able to do a year from now that I can't do currently. Then I get excited!

try and keep researching and talking to people i had my sleeve on the 14 feb and my sister has her op tomorrow, its been really helpful having someone to talk to. we have someone to bounce our thoughts off and someone to help remember why we are doing this. its really helpful. if you have no one at home make some friends on here and try to talk out your nerves. There are some things about my future that make me nervous, relearning how to live with my new body but i think about my past and the things that made me nervous about going out and the thing that made me most sad on a daily basis. It was always my weight, We are all unhappy with our health, weight and bodies so when the nerves attack try to focus on the way you have felt for so long and how wonderful it will be to be without those feelings in the future. xxx

its all going to be worth it in the end x x x
