I am also one week out and cry every day about what I did . I felt so prepared before the surgery . I feel like reading all the message boards also messed with my mind ... so many horror stories , and it’s hard not to wonder if they will happen to you. It’s very very hard in the beginning .

Post op is challenging as well ?

Good luck! I’m one day post op today. You got this!

I wasn't nervous. I was ready to get it over with. I'm 30 days post op today and absolutely have no regrets. Your mileage may will vary, but think about the future, the reasons why you're doing this. In the grand scheme of things - the surgery is the easy part. The pre-op diet, the approval process, the decision to see a bariatric surgeon are the hardest part of this journey.
As soon as you feel able, get up. Stand. Walk. Walk some more. Then keep walking. You'll feel a lot better. Good luck.

being unconscious during the operation helped a lot

How did you Keep calm?
