Well I hate to admit it because I am supposed to be a big tough guy lol

But I was nervous as hell the night before surgery and the day of. I did not let any one know but I know my wife had me figured out. I was very quit and watched every one like a hawk lol so she knew I was uneasy.

I think it is natural though. I mean it is a big decision and there are always risk and always in the back of your mind you wonder if it is all worth it and will it work.

Them feelings will go away or lighten up. You will get through it and it will be well worth it :)

I know my belief's helped me also when I handed it all over and relaxed :)

I was REALLY scared up until the morning of my surgery. I think thats pretty normal.

My doctor actually gave me a little ativan for the few days leading up to it as I was getting stressed!

Good luck!!

What you're feeling is completely normal. I went through it as well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. When I started the process of getting Sleeved I wanted to know exactly what I was getting into.

I just realized that in this big decision. I am... I'm completly scared.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
