You look stunning! I am having my VSG on January 20th. Thank you for your post it gave me inspiration this morning!

My surgery (VSG) is scheduled for January 20th. I am struggling with the same feelings! I have been overweight my entire life and have been failing diets since my preteen years. Now at 34 I am tired of being sick .. tired of diabetes .. tired of sleep apnea and tired of constant pain so I decided that it was time to do something about it. Even though I am 100% committed I am scared that I will go through this transition only to find myself worse off than before. BUT I also know that this is b.s. .. I just try to ignore my negative thoughts and remind myself of the truth. The WLS's we are approaching will be the tools we need to finally succeed. Hang in there!

Thanks everyone for sharing! I appreciate the honesty. I am scheduled for January 20th and am starting to freak out. I worry about the obvious things like pain ... or death .. but I'm most worried about being a burden during recovery. For those that have been sleeved already ... did you need much help from others during recovery?

I am scheduled for my VSG on January 20th too!! So excited! Good luck everyone!

Seems like 11/18 was ages ago when I was sleeved, and how I remember that anxiety! The physical pain was almost nil, just a little soreness. The unknown is what is hard I think. There are so many wonderful supportive people here who are ready to jump in and answer questions. Ask and you shall receive! Just get your Vitamins, Proteins and necessities ready and this will be fabulous, I promise. Best wishes!
