Good luck!!!! I'm 12 days after you! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I hope I get as excited as you! I am not as afraid anymore, maybe as it gets closer I will be, but right now I am ok. I am so ready to get working on the new me! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you for the encouraging words. I don't have a pre-op liquid diet, just low carb high protein the week before, so I guess I am lucky there I can't wait until it's over. I am ready for all of the hard work I'm going to need to do after. I am so glad that you are doing well. Keep posting about your journey! Good luck!

I'm June 14! And NERVOUS!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Honestly, since I've been reading the comments on this thread, I feel better Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I also work in a school, my last day is June 9 and I'm scheduled for the 14th....getting REALLY nervous Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you, I'll have to read the success stories. I don't think I'll get scared enough to back out, but I just wish the "excitement" would return. Good luck to you, and let me know how it goes!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm June 10. I am also VERY nervous, but I am more scared of what will happen if I DON'T have the surgery. My pain will continue to get worse, My bp and cholesterol will probably get higher. And who knows what else will happen (heart disease, cancer diabetes etc) I HAVE to do this!!!! You'll be telling me 2 days before my surgery how well it went for you and for ME not to be scared!!! GOOD LUCK!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I am right there with you!!! Just recently I have been having so much pain in my feet. I have tried inserts, new shoes, tying them differently, nothing works. I can't wait for them to stop hurting. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! I know I HAVE to do this, or my life isn't going to get any better..only worse. The pain will increase, the mobility derease. I have to just think about the good things that are going to happen for me. Did you have any complications or side effects? Thats my biggest fear Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I hope I feel as good as you. I'm not afraid of missing food, that's what got me to this point in the first place! I'm just worried about complications. I'm pretty healthy (arthritis and high bp are about it) so I'm hoping everything goes well. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you. Knowing that others have the same feelings/fears as I do helps. I hope your surgery goes well and I hope you post how things are going as you progress. I have heard MANY more happy stories than "bad", so I think that will help me to get past the scared phase I am in now. GOOD LUCK!!!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Awe, thank you so much!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! I know that I NEED to do this. I have lost out on so much life because of my weight. (Never married, no kids of my own, low paying job, no confidance, health issues) I'm ready to live. And live pain free! I want to be there for my neices, (they are like my kids) without this surgery, I am only going to get older, fatter, and sadder. I'm so happy that you now have the life you want. I hope someday I will too. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh no. I dont know if i could do it without my family. They have been so supportive and with me all the way! I guess I'm lucky. Good luck. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! Every good story I hear makes me feel better!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Congratulations!!! You aren't having any problems? I know the fear is in my head. I just have to fight through it. Good luck. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Good luck! And thank you!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Omg! That's AWESOME! That makes me feel much better. Congratulations!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Did you have the sleeve? Have you had any problems? I'm sorry if i'm being too personal. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Have you had surgery yet? I am 99% sure I wouldn't back out, I just want to be "excited" again and less nervous. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I.started the process in December (taking my time since I knew all along that I wanted surgery in June because I'm off all Summer) I know I just need to get over it, suck it up and think more about the future. I hope after talkibg to my surgeon, I'll feel better. When are you having surgery? Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'll be asking for that shot really early on! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you sooo much. It sounds like we have some things in common, I am a worrier. Im hoping this passes for me, I will be talking to my dr in a few weeks. I'm really just afraid of the POSSIBILITY of complications. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I wish it would pass. I have an appt with the cardiologist and then pre-admission testing and my last appt with my dr. Maybe he can help ease my worries. I KNOW if I lose weight I would feel better and I KNOW I can't do it by myself. I HAVE to do this. I'm a worrier by nature. Thank you for letting me know it's not just me Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app
