It's totally normal to be afraid okay. But let your head rule this decision and then believe in your heart. You are headed towards your new life! There will be this procedure that you can think of as a rite of passage to this new life. You're shedding the weight that no longer serves you and to do that, you must breathe one moment at a time, follow the instructions and have faith. Take yourself to that O.R. when they call your name and smile for it all begins here. This is a minimally invasive procedure that they have MASTERED over the last few years. You will be fine.

Ohh yes, the gas is something else. Not a joke. Just keep walking. I had my surgery last Friday July 13th, and had a hellish Friday night and not a great Saturday. By Sunday things were much better and I even went out shopping. You will get through this but you need to walk. The mylicon drops and all that won't really help.

Thanks blossom 12. I am over here a getting very nervous. I want to do this, but I'm scared to do this. I am afraid of the change. But I could never do this on my own. I've tried. I've been trying to lose weight since childhood and I just don't want to die this way. I am trying not to put too much on this. My surgery is in 3 days and I start my pre-op tonight. I hope that this is just pre-sleeve jitters?

Good luck! I am sure everything is going to turn out quite well. You have prepared yourself and done your part. The pay off will come.
