I'm doing my operation on March 7th. Starting my liquid diet on Monday. However I'm a little confused with the liquid diet. Can I have any type of vegetables during the 2 weeks before surgery with the shakes? Sent from my SM-G920W8 using the BariatricPal App

March 7th and I'm terrified!

My name is Mike, I’m 47 years old, male. I am 155CM tall and hovering around 255lbs. My BMI is 48. I’m having my Sleeve operation on March 7th. However I’m so scarred its almost killing me. I’m terrified that something will go wrong! I have a family so I’m afraid to leave my kids behind! I have a couple of questions so I’m hoping I get response back since I’ve been online and you read so much that I’m not sure what’s right and what’s not anymore! I’m very concerned because I’m having my operation in a private clinic and I have sleep Apnea so I’m even more worried! Is there a much higher risk doing the operation when you have Sleep Apnea? As well, when you have the operation at the hospital usually you are at there for at least 48 hours to be observed before discharged. Does anyone know if the same thing is done at a private clinic? How long does it usually take to take to have the operation done because I’m hearing different answers online. Is it one hour, two hours or more? After the operation in how long can I start moving around? Around how much weight should expect to lose during my first 6 month?
