Hi!! When is your date?.Mine is tomorrow and my emotions are all over the place. I'm excited that I am going to be starting my life over but I get nervous especially thinking about what's the worst that can happen. But I know God's got me. I just gotta stay prayed up you know. But don't be nervous. I just keep telling myself the pros outweigh the con's and we will be ok. Good luck to you

I understand your fear. I think we must all go through the fear and doubt of the unknown and if we are doing the right thing. I'm scheduled for surgery sept 22nd at 9:45 am. I'm rethinking it also but am going to continue pushing through because I hear to keep your eye on the prize! Keep thinking positive and we will all be on the other side together helping others with their preop questions and fears. Best of luck.

Fear is normal. I was sleeved in april and was petrified. I was so nervous and on bridge of a panic attack. But it was ok. After surgery your going to have good and bad days but when they say it gets easier, trust me it does. Just relax and have faith everything will be ok. In a few months your gonna be thrilled u went thru with it. Good luck everyone

@@Carlagrant, make sure you find the threads that are specifically for people getting sleeved in October (I am too!) so you can share your stuff with people who are in the same place as you. It makes it easier, I think.

How do you make the weight lose ticker??? and I understand what you are going through. this has been a roller coaster of emotions so far fro me and I am only a week into it. I believe my surgery will be in Mid December, so i will keep going through the emotions till that day and I am sure afterwards as well...

I was scared to death up until the point that the IV drip started taking effect. Its normal. I do feel regret once in a while, but then I step on a scale or climb a flight of stairs and then asked myself why didnt I do this years ago.

What are the regrets you have sometimes? Just that you had it done or that you have to change your entire lifestyle? That's my fear and my boyfriends too

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
