Surgery tomorrow... Am I ready?

[msshellg 63]

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow... I'm so nervous! I am having second thoughts.. What if I can't handle it, what if I don't lose weight, what if I can't control myself and eat the wrong stuff. I'm so nervous. I think I'm in mourning of the life I have to let go of. I know I'm ready but I'm scared !

Everything you're feeling is perfectly normal, so don't sweat it. You made the decision to take control of your health and this first step is a doozy, but you'll do great! I'm only five weeks post-surgery and still have some fears regarding success and being healthy. I don't think it would be normal if we didn't have 'cold feet' and fears. Ultimately, you just have to remind yourself why you are doing this and follow your doctor's plan. The rest will fall into place if you do that. Good luck to you on this journey!

I completely understand how you are feeling. I am scheduled to have Lap band surgery on May 22nd and keep thinking the same thoughts. My older sister had Gastric Bypass surgery 3 years ago and lost 200 pounds quickly and is starting to put it back on. I don't know what the answer is, but I am going through with mine and I hope you do the same thing. The best you can do is pray for a quick recovery and ask the Lord for strength and guidance throughout this journey. It is a different learning experience for all of us. You made it this far, so why put it off? I wish you the best of luck and a quick recovery.

I'm feeling the same way. Mostly wondering if I can handle it and stay committed.

Good Luck to you tomorrow. Keep us posted.

You will be fine I'm 1 1/2 week out

You will be fine. The best sleep ever as you wake up the surgery is done

It's really a normal feeling to be nervous.

But this surgery is a great tool for helping you to loose weight.

Your stomach will be to small to eat large amounts of food.

I'm seven months out and I'm happy that I had the surgery and don't regret doing it either.

All I can say is listen to your surgeons and nutritionists guidelines that they give you and you will be pleased with yourself when those pounds start to come off.

They are there to make things as easy for you as they can.

Also they will be there to answer questions and concerns that come up and don't hesitate to contact them.

Also people are here to talk to and help you along your way on this new chapter in your life.

Best of luck on this journey.

Msshellg I'm praying for you. Being nervous is normal you'll be fine. See you in the other side, God bless!!!

[teacherlady2133 258]

I am also praying for you and I think it helps to know others understand your fears and thoughts. We all have been having them and are currently having them. Makes me not feel alone and that no one understands what I feel! You can do this you made it this far... Hang in there!

Thanks everyone!!! Your kind words and prayers have really helped. I had surgery on Wednesday I had to arrive at the hospital at 9:30 am but my surgery didn't hAppen until 6:00 pm... I was so mad and ready to leave!!! I did have my surgery and so far it's been ok. Not as much pain as I thought I would have.... Hopefully I get to go home today!

Congratulations and welcome to the losers bench. I hope ur home soon!

Thank you!! I'm home now but I feel over tired. I was released from the hospital yesterday and my sons wedding was last night. I went to the wedding although I didn't do anything, but I think I over did it because I've been sore and tired ever since. Taking it really easy today. Trying to get in my Protein and it's difficult. I'm not hungry but I could eat.... All these commercials about food are making it difficult. But I will not give in!!!!
