3 hours?!? That's crazy! Are they showing you videos of operations or of just what to expect from surgery?

I’m scheduled for Nov. 8 - three weeks exactly from today. I’m starting to feel very scared, especially when I reviewed my pre-surgical consult notes of all the potential risks. I worry what if something goes wrong, and then it’s like I did it to myself. But there’s that saying “everything you want is on the other side of fear.” I’m trying to live that and just have faith. Sometimes I get so excited thinking about how my life could be if I felt better about myself. If i could wear all the clothes in my closet. If I felt sexy. If I could kayak without worrying I’m over the weight limit. But then at night the fear and anxiety creep in. Just three more weeks...I hope I have made the right decision for myself, and for my family.

The big day is finally here. Just leaving for the Hospital. Surgery in 3 hours!!

Thanks for all the good wishes. They must have worked cause I’m now 5 hours post op, and my only issue is the gas/surgicalb pain. Surprisingly they brought me dinner 2 hours post op. Cream Tomato Soup, black Tea, and vanilla pudding with a small package of Protein. My wife ate the Soup, and I dipped on the tea. I am slowly working my way through the pudding, (watered down with milk). I learned very quickly about the need for sipping VERY slowly. 🤤.

Went for a walk, which greatly helped the gas issue.

I'm also struggling with the fears too as my date gets closer. I just keep reminding myself why I am doing this and it sounds like it's the same reason for you too-to live a better life and actually live it and not be held back by our weight. We are so close we can do this

You Are Doing This as a Gift🎁 to YOU and to Insure a Better Life! As time gets closer, a blue funk can descend, this is a BIG change in life, but keep your central purpose in mind and you will be fine. FYI -As a 6 week veteran of the Weight Wars , Apprehension hurts a Lot More than the Actual Surgery. But I will pray🙏for Peace in Your Soul, for I know and believe you will be Just Fine.
Hugs. Frustr8
