How was surgery ??

I'm getting sleeved this Thursday 2/16 I've also had lots of fears, anxiety & thoughts but I know if I back out I'll regret it. I go from being so excited to having morbid thoughts but that's doesn't help either. Just think how many people have this survey a day people even go out of the country for it. Your surgeon' performs this surgery probably weekly mine does it every Thursday. My surgeon also tells me this surgery is very safe & common it is also becoming the go to bariatric surgery for a lot of surgeons. Remember a lot of the patients are extremely over weight & some very unhealthy & still are able to be successful some will have complication most of us are "morbidly obese" per our insurance. Make a pro's & cons list for what the surgery will mean for you maybe that will help

Thank you everyone great tips!!

But anyway to answer your question I'm also anxious & scared I've had anesthesia 2x once to remove all 4 wisdom teeth & 2nd for my gallbladder removal. It's scary to be wheeled into an OR but the staff tries to calm you down once you're there I also hear you can ask for anxiety meds beforehand. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Gosh that would be awesome knock me out in my room so I don't have to see the OR lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think you're the perfect age to get control of your life & weight. I'm 32 for years I thought surgery was the "easy way out " I could do it on my own even though I struggled with my weight since 19 when I had my daughter. I would lose and gain the same 20lbs. I was following people weight loss journeys on IG when I came across a girl who had vsg I educated myself on the surgery & after a long journey in getting it next week 2/16. I'm scared , anxious, excited & kinda of in disbelief but I think it's a new start for me. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
