Surgery date....and SCARED!



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office just called and scheduled pre-op for January 20th (all day) and surgery on January 29th. I have worked so hard for this....two years of insurance issues, traveling 8 hours round trip to find the best surgeon. And, now I am scared. Scared of leaks, scared of complications, scared of not succeeding with the sleeve. I am going to try and trust in Dr. Schroder and his team and quiet my nervousness.

But HOLY CRAP....this is really happening!!

@@Jlkhollins Well congratulations! It's normal to be a little scared but don't let it consume you, chances are pretty good that you are going to be just fine! Try to enjoy what you worked so hard for! It's a happy time!!!!

Relax. Positive thinking is your best friend. I have had zero problems and I was over 400 lbs and when sleeved.

Thank you!!! I am going to focus on staying positive and working toward health! I am excited to begin a new year and can't wait to see what it will hold. Any recommendations on things I should know for the hospital? Things I should pack?
