I go to the doc Monday to schedule my appt and I've read some horror stories with post op patients. I'm freaking myself out. I understand with any surgery there are complications. I am thinking of backing out. Did anyone else feel this way before surgery?

Yep...

This was my first ever surgery...

I'd never been unconscious before...

I was pooing my pants...

I said goodbye to everyone the day before, just in case I died on the table...

What a dickhead I looked the next day...

Oh well, it happens...

There's nothing at all wrong with being nervous...

But don't back out...

You've come too far now...

And believe me..

The results are worth it...

Good luck to you...

The feelings you're having are completely normal. There are risks with every surgery, but sometimes the risks are worth it, especially when staying the way you are now isn't working.

This was my first surgery too, and I'd do it over again in a second. Best of luck!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
