kclaws 151 Posted April 2, 2014 My pre-op visit with my surgeon was today. I start my liquid diet tomorrow and have reached paralyzed fear!! I'm so scared something is going to go wrong! I'm not worried about the pain or sticking with the diet but I'm afraid I'll never wake up again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mentalistfan 189 Posted April 2, 2014 I think that is normal but you will regret it if you don't go through with it...it's less than 1% chance of something going wrong...ask the Lord to give you strength and to see you through this surgery, God Bless!!!

kpay10 95 Posted April 2, 2014 I have that same fear, but the fear of doing nothing and dropping dead of a heart attack or some other obesity-related disease is worse. Best of luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driving to the hospital for your surgery can kill you. If you believe in God put your faith in him. I had no fear of this surgery as my life belongs to God. If it was my time then it was my time. I made it. Easy as closing your eyes and then waking up 2 seconds later. You will be fine. If this surgery scares you think about heart surgery or some other weight related surgery you may end up having to get. You will do great. 1 rome reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sweetbaby1 77 Posted April 2, 2014 I guess we are kind of in the same boat. I start my liquid fast today. It's absolutely common to be nervous. Not everyday will someone go over a procedure like this. But I will say, pray everything will go fine. It's a lot easier to follow the Doctor's order. You will do good.
