Nervous doesn't even being to describe the feelings running thru me right now. Surgery in two days, I'll be leaving behind my 9 month old for the longest time so far. I know that this is for the best and for our future... But I'm very scared right now

I watched my grandson last night and when they got home he had 102 fever. He is still sick tonight. My surgery is Tuesday, I hope I don't get sick. I have been jumping threw hoops for this surgery, since last September. I do not want to wait one one day...LOL. I am so excited, but just now starting to get nervous. Cant wait for my NEW future!

Oh no. Hope your grandson is feeling better and def hope you don't get it. Stay well ????

I'm so nervous that I have to pee at least every hour. I know this is TMI but I find it fascinating. Butterflies in my empty stomach constantly. I am blessed with a very supportive wife and kids. I don't know how some people can do this alone. My wife calms my worries, but they return.

I hear you all!! The closer Friday gets, the more nervous I get! Not gonna lie, I hope you you 27-29ers post in here after surgery and let us know how you are doing.

Trying to enjoy the last few days of food. I KNOW we will all eat again, and we will be able to eat anything we want, just in a smaller quantity. By the holidays, I bet most of us will be down 50-80lbs! Think on that everyone!

That concept, of being down 50-80lbs seems so surreal, but I got to admit that sounds awesome!

I agree, I hope we all keep in touch it will make the touch and go of recovery easier. Sharing the experience of babysteps and knowing that we are not alone will make it go by quicker.

I try not to think about it. I had the gastric band out in at removed after the port flipped sideways and they could not longer access it. The surgery itself isn't so scary. I trust my surgeon. The whole idea of staples and a stomach that has to heal and can't leak is what worries me. I can work through the pain- that is temporary. Love to keep in touch an see how everyone's makes out. I want to take before pics and a few measurements as well.

      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.
