Surgery Today 12/14/17 and Scared

[Roxytrini 9]

I'm scheduled to have my sugery today (gastric sleeve) at 11:30 and starting to have second thoughts on the procedure. It's 2am and I can't sleep I'm so nervous.

I was nervous too, right up to the part where they put me asleep. I think I felt similarly to you. It was such a relief to me to have the procedure done though.

You've done so much work to get to this point, which required some courage in and of itself. Bring that courage with you to the hospital.

I hope you can get some rest before your surgery! Though I know it'll be hard. Good luck today!

Thank you, KCRN. Your words of encouragement are appreciated.

You can do it! Im sure everyone is nervous before surgery. I was but I’m so glad I did it. Don’t worry and try to get some rest [emoji4] Blessings to you!

You will very likely have a good experience and a welcome change of life.

Surgery under anaesthetic is a big step for almost everyone.

Best of luck to you.

It's nine weeks today since my surgery ... Thursday 12th October to Thursday 14th December. I remember that I, too, had a few moments of trepidation back in October.

It's all HAPPY ancient history now!

I had open heart surgery prior to my WLS and I was apprehensive about my WLS. I think its only natural to worry before any surgery. Good luck and enjoy the new you.

I just had my surgery on Monday and am still in recovery mode and trying to figure this all out. I don’t regret having it done but I am just looking forward to the discomfort being gone and I can start enjoying real food again. Good luck today and all will be fine.

It'll be over before you know it. You'll have a couple of rough days, then on to your new life!

This wasn't a random decision...you put a LOT of thought into this and jumped through a lot of hoops.

Trust your saner self....who isn't freaking out over the immediate circumstances.

You got this. It'll be ok!

I just had mine on Tuesday as well. I was really nervous too, one thing that helped me was noticing how many other folks were there getting the same surgery and then talking to them in pre-op and on the floor afterward. I've had some minor issues (swallowing) that have kept me a here a bit longer, but pain has been well managed and I can see I'm losing weight rapidly already. One thing that really encouraged me was that virtually everyone who has had it say the first 2 weeks suck, but after that it's not too bad and they are all happy they did it and will do it again.

Hang In there!

Good morning, all of you will do great! I had a DS yesterday evening and still feel as though I made the best decision, Praying for all of you on your journeys!
