unique_cathy 13 Posted August 3, 2016 so my surgery is tomorrow and I have to be at the hospital at 9:30am. I am so nervous but I know that is normal because it is a big surgery but I'm praying that all goes well..earlier today I was questioning if this is really what I want to do but I know that's my inner fat girl trying to hold on but I know I am ready, has anyone else felt that way the day before surgery? and I will keep everyone updated. congratulations to everyone else getting the surgery tomorrow. good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valentina 2,642 Posted August 3, 2016 If you DIDN'T have the jitters the day before a major surgery then YOU, my friend would be a ----wait for it--------wait for it--------------again--wait for it--------------A WEIRDO!!!!! Seriously, my friend, let it go. You have done all of the prep work. You have chosen the best bariatric team you could. You have jumped through every hoop. Now, you need to let it go. Take a deep breath, leave everything about tomorrow in your surgical team's skillful hands, under God's Grace. All will be well. I promise. NOW GO TO BED!!!!! (post when you feel up to it and let us know how wonderfully well you are doing and how WLS was the best decision you've ever made. You may want to wait until a week post op for the feeling wonderfully well part . But, You WILL . ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanjumelts 170 Posted August 3, 2016 You got this! I had the same feelings the night before. It can be described as bittersweet. All I can say is that your life will feel better than it ever has a month from now. First 2 weeks may be tough, and the 3rd and 4th week a bit awkward getting accustomed to eating with your new pouch. The rest is history Weeks out: 16 SW: 365 CW: 285 WL: 80lbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
