Should be having surgery on the 24th or are you scheduled? If you are scheduled I'm sure you have been through the pre operation class to know what to expect.

Fear of surgery procedures is normal. Know that your surgeon and team will take great care of you. I hope you have no regret in treating obesity and living a healthy life.

Start binge watching YouTube videos on WLS. You will have so much knowledge of this stuff after a week, you could start giving seminars. Research and knowledge puts a mind at ease. It's the fear of the unknown that gets us.

Thank you for the suggestions will do am based in dubai and I was not aware there are pre op classes or a diet for that matter hence ws panicking when I saw the amount of work that goes in pre op, I hope its worth it.

I don’t know what obesity level 2 is but my highest weight was 365 and my surgery weight was 327. For me - the risks of NOT having surgery were worse than having the surgery (gastric sleeve).

I had no problem with the anesthesia and my only problem after surgery has been really bad heartburn, but even that is getting better every day (surgery was 10/10). Best of luck to you!!

So true that the health risks we are facing are very scary. I was very nervous of being put under and I shared that with the Anesthesiologist. He had the nurse hold my hand and kept talking to me and he let me hold the facemask and I went to sleep very peacefully.Good luck 🤗🤗🤗
