Dang man that really REALLY helped me!!! I guess the fear of how I'll react to not being able to eat like normal is paramount in my mind. I don't want to slip into some kind of stupid depression over food of all things!!!!

I was just informed that my surgery date is gonna be March 25 and fear just came roaring back and I feel like I could puke!!!! Damn this fear and doubt!!!!! I hate it as much as I do the weight!!!! Just SO many concerns and fears boiling up in my head!! Am I really ready for this?? Can you ever really be sure??? Crap!!!!!

And yes I think its the fear of "change" that has me all balled up. I've researched this surgery about as much as I can. I've called people who I've heard has had it and picked their brain and questioned them extensively. I know all the possible pitfalls bit I also see the benefits. Also a little worried about how I'll feel after I lose all the weight and look so different. Just dumb, useless worries I guess......

Thanks and I do keep reminding myself of the benefits. Just last night I told my wife that I can't wait till food no longer holds an appeal to me (as I've heard many say post sleeve) and I get smaller. Don't know where this mind job has come from. I know I NEED this, for me, my wife, and ESP my kids!! I may die of a meteor strike hi I do NOT want to die from food!!!

Well I was SO ready for this, pumped and everything!!! Now I woke up today SCARED S#*TLESS!! WTF is this about??? I have been approved by ins and now just waiting for a date. Is this normal or should I hold off for a while??? Help!!!!!!

I'm hoping for a March surgery date also. Got my cardio appt next Tuesday and that'll be the last hurdle before setting a date. Unbelievably nervous!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for the replies!! I've just never been one to handle change very well and on a scale from 1-10 this will register a 9.5!!!! Really want be slim and healthy!!!!

Hello all, I'm new here and plan to be sleeved in early to mid March. My particular worry, and its a weird one, is how I'll handle life without eating what I want when I want. I wonder if I'll slip into a depression or something. This has me concerned greatly. Anything anyone wants to add it'll surely be appreciated!!!!!
