Craig Wildi 68 Posted December 27, 2015 I think the feeling is normal. I have had several other different surgeries, and felt the same as you each time. In fact, I am having the sleeve on Monday the 28th, and my nerves are about shot already! I will be glad when it is over! Stay focused on why you decided to do this, and think about the reasons! But I understand your thoughts, because I too, am thinking them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CreatingTaylor 35 Posted December 27, 2015 Oh my no loser here. Its overwhelming just knowing im a few days away from drastically changing my life and that so little people understand it The "losers bench" is a good thing!! It means you're officially on the other side of surgery and are going to start losing weight with the rest of the sleeved family. Surgery for me is 19 days away but it is all going by so quickly. My sister asked me the other day how I am so calm. I told her it's probably because it just hasn't hit me yet haha. I'm getting more nervous by the day but I'm trying to focus on other people's positive success stories. That helps a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
