PreOp Freakout

I go in on April 2. Really trying not to freak out. I just keep reminding myself what my life was like before I gained weight and what my life is like now. I want my old life back, cuz this, this isn't living. ...right?

Being nervous before any surgery is oh, so normal! But, ask yourself:

  • are you really "living" life to the fullest now?
  • Are you happy wherever you're at with your health & lifestyle now?
  • What led you to make the decision to have the surgery to being with?
  • Have things changed to make you question your decision?

No one can tell you if it's the right decision since it's such a personal & life-changing event. Personally speaking, this was the BEST thing i ever did was get the band removed & replaced by the sleeve! I had it done all in 1 surgery. Recovery went well overall. I'm almost 8 weeks out & have no regrets. I do struggle with getting enough fluids & sometimes protein in, but it's all me & has nothing to do with the surgery itself.

Great decision, good luck!
