kyyoung 5 Posted July 8, 2016 I just had mine on Tuesday and felt the same way but it's already been worth it Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmorri 1,689 Posted July 8, 2016 Try to focus more on the long term future rather than the surgery itself......I agree with @@OKCPirate it is very normal to be nervous....it would be weird if you weren't... But just keep reminding yourself why you're doing it. My surgery was almost 8 weeks ago and I can tell you for me, it's the best thing I've ever done!!! I have not regretted it for one second!!! Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm literally terrified in this very moment Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm right there with you. I'm just a message away if you need to talk, and will definitely hold you in my prayers and thoughts. It's normal to be anxious and second guess your choice. I'm doing it right now, but as everyone (who has had bariatric surgery) told me, "You'll be so glad you did it when you're done recovering."

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted July 9, 2016 I worked really hard to not be scared just because I wanted to be calm and peaceful when I went into surgery because I felt that would give me the best outcome. I wasted a lot of time pre-surgery fretting about a massive life change thinking I would always be weird and an outsider because I wouldn't be able to eat like "normal" people. 12 months later, that isn't the case at all, I eat kind of normally, except I don't over eat like 95% of the population. Calm down, if you have got this far you came this far for a reason. Focus on what you want to do once you get to goal and keep that visual image in your mind.

JCP 619 Posted July 11, 2016 I'm just going to tell you that fear is ok but don't let it stop you. You are almost there. This surgery saved my life and it will yours also. You will be miserable for a couple of weeks but then the changes really kick in. I promise, you are going to do great. God bless and believe in yourself.

fatchick84 53 Posted July 11, 2016 I was sleeved on 12/29/15 and I thought of backing out. I was terrified! Trust me, it's so worth it. My recovery was much easier than I thought and the results are amazing. HW 275 CW 180! I know this is a huge life change but you will be very happy that you did it.
