I wasn't afraid for some reason. I trusted my surgeon totally. I know multiple people who he's preformed surgeries on, and they're all doing really well. I didn't even let anyone come to the hospital with me, cause I knew I'd be fine. I just told my mom that I would call/text her after to ease her worries, and I did lol! You'll be totally fine! The likelihood of anything happening during surgery is EXTREMELY low! You've got this!

My surgery is on Friday. I just feel like I am waiting for my death. It is so terrible, and I am so scared ugh! Anyone else feel that way? Am I being overdramatic? Please provide some encouragement!

You're looking at it the wrong way....You're waiting for your new life! And trust me, it's going to be better than the old one. Unless you are underweight, weight loss is a positive for everyone. You'll be fine and it's time to get excited about this new chapter!!!

It is normal to feel concerned. However, these operations have advanced so much that 1000's are performed weekly. Trust you surgeon and surgery team. They will take great care of you. This is the beginning of a healthier you! Be excited!!

I was very anxious when I had my first abdominal surgery, but it went fine.

My second abdominal surgery...fine.

Third...fine.

Fourth...fine.

Fifth...ditto!

I'm still alive!

Chin up, chuck!

Same! I had no fear! The staff was kind of taken aback because I was all smiles and joking with them. I also didn’t have anyone at the hospital with me. I was alone my whole 2 day stay, no visitors. I’m sure the OP is fine now
