Surgery on Wednesday. Scared, 2nd thoughts

[dance4thedj 0]

I'm single and social... I'm scared of how this will affect me.

Also, will I still be hungry and crave food?

Just freakin' out a little bit here.

most of us (but not all) lose our sense of hunger for a few months after surgery. You may still crave food since cravings are mental rather than physical. Although the surgery keeps you from eating too much at one sitting.

We wouldn't be human if we didn't get afraid before the unknown. I was so pleased to get off the 3 week pre op diet that I almost ran to the operating theatre. It wasn't my first surgery. Others will tell you how soon they were out and about again but I am sure it really soon. You can always say no to the surgery if the time is not right for you. Its up to you. Its your body.
