Here comes the sleeve

OMG! OMG! OMG!

REWIND:

The day has arrived! Today i say goodbye to 80% of my stomach and hello to my new life! I've been up for over 24 hrs In anticipation. Yesterday I worked from 9:00 am until 11:00 pm, then went home to complete my packing. I took a 15 minute nap, showered at 4:30 am, helped mom with her packing, placed everything in the car, drove to the airport, parked, checked in and boarded the plane . . . . The whole time I was FINE.

PLAY:

I get up to use the bathroom on the plane and that's when IT started . . . . PANIC!!! Walking down the aisle was a feat in itself. Then I step into the afterthought they call a bathroom. It was so small that my butt cheek touched the wall. Anyway, when I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror that's when I started mentally freaking out, asking myself . . . . . What are you doing? . . . Are you sure you want to do this? . . . It's not too late to cancel . . . . Think of all of the holes they are going to make in your belly . . . . The pain. I do believe the "super close quarters" caused me to have a panic attack. Once back at my seat I am fine. I won't lie, with us arriving in San Diego in a little over an hour I know that I will be getting nervous again.

I (along with 90% of everyone on here) went through the same thoughts! It's normal and healthy to be concerned about any sort of surgery. But what you have decided to do for yourself is amazing and I doubt you'll have one regret. I'm almost 5 weeks post op and can't believe I didn't do this years ago!!! Warm thoughts and prayers being sent to you out here in SoCal!!!

Yes you are doing this. There is a reason you are on that plane. Don't back down and change your mind. A few small holes in you stomach is nothing compared to living the rest of your life overweight. It's a very easy and safe procedure. You won't remember a thing as far as the surgery its self goes.
