Surgery in 9 days 5/23!

[Sunshineprincess 58]

So my nerves are mostly calm but they keep flaring up on me at times. I can't believe it's almost surgery time. Seems like forever but time flew by lol. I am not worried about anything except not making it through! I keep telling myself that these thoughts are not really logical but the fear is real. I have let fear drive my life for so long that I am going to do this so I can actually live a healthy normal life. I am lucky, my family supports me and my friends so they will be there all the way. Somehow just venting my fears on here makes me feel better because we are all in the same boat. I will try not to post like crazy the next week or so up to my surgery date. Anyway if anyone wants to share their words of wisdom on getting through this next week and surgery it would be appreciated. I'm trying not to drive my family more crazy by asking a thousand times a day if they think I will be ok lol I think my bestie and my Mama are about to slap me if I ask 1 more time. So lol I come on here cause I'm sure some of you are just like me and understand this last week of presurgery jitters.

You’re going to do amazing! I promise! I had my sleeve done on 5/10 and I’m feeling pretty darn good. If you want to read a little of my story from surgery day to now, you can check out the “I got sleeved today” post on this same section.
I’m excited for you!

Thank you! I will go check out your post. It is calming to here from people who have just went through the surgery. I always convince myself of worse case scenarios and this is my first surgery ever so I am going through tons thoughts lol but I'm working on it. Thanks again!

This was my first surgery ever too! The thing that I worried about the most was the anesthesia. But once I got through the EGD anesthesia just fine, I had zero nerves. You’re going to be great. And you can always ask me anything.
Which procedure are you having?

Thank you! I was terrified of the Endoscopy as well and did wonderful with waking up so I should remember that to help. I am having the sleeve surgery.
