@@Hiraeth - because she should. She is going to permanently alter her body. I would be nervous if I was going to get a tattoo (I'm not, but if you ain't nervous the first time, go home and sleep it off). ;-)

@@jaycass - I expect every one is due at least three or four freak out moments before surgery. It's ok. You will have more. If you get to the point where you don't think this should be an option, read this post...http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/195065-you-know-you-lost-weight-when/

Good luck, feel free to let us know when you are feakin, every single person on the losers bench felt it, and we are here to help.

Well, technically she should be. But I wanted to hear the details as to what is bothering her so I could maybe give her advice and help calm her nerves.

Hey, it's nervous to feel scared! I wasn't as scared because I have this mentality that everything will be ok. I don't know why I think this way, but I'm beginning to just accept it as a part of my personality, lol.

When you go in to the hospital the morning of your surgery, you will probably be more nervous than ever. But, they will give you a shot called Versed that makes pretty much all of your worries disappear. It calms you, makes you drowsy, and it's kinda funny. I laughed a lot when they gave it to me, lol! You will do great! If you need any advice, or are just having a freak out, and need someone to talk to, you can definitely message me. :)

Are you nervous at all?

Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

Heck yeah, 20 days left I get more nervous as the days pass. I know this is what I want and I know that if I don't just do it and get it over with now I will somehow talk myself out of it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
