I've been very overwhelmed and feeling panicky today (being sleeved Wed 12/2). I am literally terrified about the surgery. I just want to wake up and know I'm ok...I've been awake all night just worrying about it.

I can't picture being lucky enough to actually have my weight loss efforts pay off...for whatever reason I just keep thinking what if I am in the 1% of people who has serious complications or heaven forbid doesn't even pull through the actual surgery? What if my attempts at saving my life backfire? I'm feeling selfish for even doing this because I'm afraid of leaving my family.

I'm usually a very positive person but this has just got me all kinds of worked up! I'm an emotional wreck ????

December 1. Just need to be on a 1400 cal diet. Lost 14 pounds in 6 months put a couple back on. Asked about a liquid diet said it wasn't necessary. Eating more Protein these last few days, less carbs. That's the only way I don't gain. Was told I could eat Thanksgiving dinner and I gained but it's coming off I ate less than everyone else and cleared my plate as soon as I was finished eating. I guess I'll be eating puréed food on Christmas. We eat leg of lamb anyway so I couldn't eat it anyway. Getting nervous about the lap band so much negative stuff out there saying to get the other surgeries instead. I left my job last year but kept my COBRA since this is the first insurance that covers this surgery. My surgery includes 2 years of aftercare. Been doing some temp work, will look for a new job in Jan to cover our health insurance our COBRA is expensive and gong up more next year.

Oops meant to post in the lap band section

My Surgery Is December 8,2015

I'm Excited And Nervous

Start my Clear liquid diet 2 Days Before My Surgery

My surgery is the same day, December 8, 2015 in Tijuana, MX, with Dr. Lopez. I start my diet 3 days before and it is a pretty cool one. I have a shake for Breakfast and dinner and a salad for lunch. I'm super excited to have this procedure done.

My surgery is Tuesday, I'm feeling the exact same way. I've been having crazy panic attacks all weekend. I spent hours googling the risks of the surgery and anesthesia cause I'm terrified of not waking up. I'm only 28, I have no comorbidities, and I've gotten my BMI down to 40 throughout the process, but I'm still so scared something could go wrong.

I'm trying to be in good spirits for the sake of my family (who is panicking just as much!) but jeez it's hard. I don't think I'll be getting much sleep for the next couple of days!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
