Greetings from Australia... freaking out!

[NeedaBreak4Me 1,755]

OMG! OMG!.... i am booked in for the gastric sleeve and i am totally freaking out!.. im feeling every emotion i know..... happiness, mourning food.. worried, stressed, Hopeful.. you name it.. im feeling it.

Strange... as an ex bander.. i thought i would be more prepared.

How were you feeling emotionally prior to your surgery?

[OKCPirate 5,323]

Different hemisphere, but the same. Just because you are north of the equator and your seasons are different doesn't mean freak outs don't happen. And you should. But I would not have changed anything.

[NeedaBreak4Me 1,755]

Yeah true. Those feelings are universal, no matter where in the world you are.

We have started autumn here. So with my surgery in two weeks i am a little worried my "cold weather head hunger" will kick in.

How far out are you?

Helllloooooo !!!

I am on the Gold Coast, QLD since 2002.

Before my move, I lived most of my life in Sydney (Bondi Beach) ....

My Sleeve was 7 weeks ago, and the worst thing for me was thinking and worrying about it Pre-op.

I'm still here, healthier and happier!

@, congratulations ! PM me if I can be of any help.

@@aussiecosy, where in QLD are you?

@@KindaFamiliar, love your posts and your sense of humour

Any more Aussies around on this site ?

Say hello, please

@

You neglected to mention my rugged good looks, my roguish charm and my excellent kissing skills...

I'm a little offended...

[OzRoo 1,492]

LOL,

But of course ! All of the above, @@KindaFamiliar

Not sure re kissing skills though ...... no experience with that

Greetings from Dubai!! I'm scheduled for a sleeve April 30th.. I too have mixed feeling but mainly excited.. Like with every surgery I think what freaks me out the most is the GA. Other than that I think I'm prepared (well I hope I am) for all post-op side effects.. Wishing you (and me) good luck !
