Half of Bri 115 Posted November 29, 2015 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 ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wincha 18 Posted November 29, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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