My pre-op visit with my surgeon was today. I start my liquid diet tomorrow and have reached paralyzed fear!! I'm so scared something is going to go wrong! I'm not worried about the pain or sticking with the diet but I'm afraid I'll never wake up again!
That's how I keep thinking! I can do it, I've lost some before...but since I'm 42 and have been trying to do it since I'm about 10...who am I kidding?! I know I have to do it but now that's it's so close, it's seems so unreal that it's actually going to happen!
Thank you! I know deep down I am doing the right thing. Just frightened of "complications". I have been overweight my whole life and I'm about 100lbs overweight right now. I have lost and gained so much weight over the years and I just want to keep it off. I have asthma, reflux, IBS and my blood pressure has been climbing the older I get. Plus I've had high cholesterol for years.
I'm such a nervous wreck! I go in for surgery on April 7th, a week from today and I am getting very nervous. I'm scared I'm making the wrong decision, scared of having a lot of pain, scared of dying!! Help! I have two kids and every time I look at them I feel guilty I'm going to do this and then never see them again
