Getting cold feet

[sgkcmorgan 3]

So my surgery is Friday and I am freaking nervous. I have watched so many YouTube videos about the first day and I am scared of having so much pain and feeling nauseous. This is what's giving me cold feet. I don't like pain and I don't like feeling sick to my stomach! I know it's the best thing for me to do as I have made several attempts to lose weight and nothing has worked. I want to be healthy, I want to eat right but a part of me is scared to go through this procedure. I know it will be worth it in the long run and I am excited for what the results will be, but I hate hospitals and it is freaking me out. Is this normal? Did anyone else have these feelings?

Yes! But I'm afraid of the OR. My emergency c section 26 years ago was traumatic. I just put my bag in the car, and we are heading to Florida after work for surgery on Friday. It finally seems real.

Just breathe and remember why you're doing this. From what I have read, our feelings are totally normal.

Where at in Florida may I ask? I live here. I'm so jealous of you guys!! My surgery for the sleeve isn't until November. I have a lap band removal surgery for the 16th. Dr. Bass is doing mine. He's such a great surgeon. He did my Band, and I had smooth sailing. It was just too many complications with the band. So Sleeve here I come!!!

Dr Bass did my surgery, VSG 12/2015. He is a great Surg. No problems at all.

I'm using Dr Taggar with Bariatrix Florida and Coral springs medical center. They had a great self pay package.

Ok, so I did it and this is day 3, feeling pretty good. I had my gallbladder removed and hiatel hernia repaired along with being sleeved. No complications, just feeling sore around my belly button but otherwise in good spirits. I have had Jello and broth with no issues. So far so good and being discharged at 1pm. Yeah!
