Pre Anxiety Positive Support Please

[TreeMystic 33]

Hi, I have my surgery on April 3rd, On the pre opt diet it's hard but ill survive So I've had 5 major surgeries in my life chest cracked open and others. I tried the sleep back in May but had scar tissues from a lap band and he wasn't able to do it said come back in 6 weeks, well i thought i'm not ready for round 2 just yet . Tries to lose on my own again, fail 15 lbs then thats it. So I found a new surgeon, anyways now I'm track to have it. Well , i guess everyone thinks you been through many surgeries it should be a breeze. NOT! I think i have anxiety because i know all that goes into it recovery and pain. I've been reading all the forums and seeing others experiences , allot not to positive to be frank , some are . Anyways looking for little inspiration and support today.

I just had the sleeve just shy of 4 months ago and recovery was a breeze -- no pain, no complications, no problems. It can happen! You can do this! Hang in there.

I had my sleeve surgery on 10/10/18. The first couple of days sucked (nausea and vomiting) but never really had pain. I never took 1 pain pill once I got home (though I did stay 2 nights due to vomiting). Some people get bad gas pains but they go away with walking. I feel a MILLION times better and more energetic that before the surgery. Good luck and “try” to relax!! 👍
