    Hi people-
    So my date is January 22. My mind is all over the place!! Im scared but hopeful. I have full confidence in my surgeon and the hospital. I feel prepared in terms of researching this to death. I know everyone's experience is vastly different which makes it so hard when you have No idea how you will recover.
    I have anxiety in general so this is particularly hard for me to go forward thinking everything will be fine.
    I have watched too many videos where people struggle, have complications, cant seem to drink their Water, cant get food down, have dumping...etc but I know in my logical brain that does not necessarily mean I'll have those issues. But my anxiety tells me to prepare for trouble.
    I hate this kind of self defeating worry cause I REALLY believe in the mind/body connection. I know my feelings going into it can potentially affect the outcome and I need to get my head right!
    What I'd love to know is if anyone had these worries before surgery such as, what if I struggle, what if I dont lose that much, what if I have a lot of pain, what if I can't manage to get anything down and then DIDN'T have these things happen?
    I want to go into this being positive! My doctor literally called me a "perfect candidate" and lord knows he's run enough tests that I know I have absolutely no health issues. I have every reason to believe I'll have a good outcome but still...I worry so much!
    Insights?

    I'm having mine on January 21st [emoji2]

    4-6 weeks.
    I have a physically demanding job and took off 3 but I was put on light duty and got increased assistance. Discuss this with your surgeon but those with physically demanding jobs should definitely take as much as they can being it will take time to get readjusted to drinking while up on your feet/moving and eating properly while maintaining enough energy


    Thank you I will discuss this concern because there is absolutely no light duty.

    Having doubt or buyers remorse is normal before any surgery. Fear of complications is natural... but what if you don't have the surgery? How much longer can your body hold up like this? Are you unhappy or miserable with your weight? If not now... then when?? Best of luck... you got this!
