I get surgery on thursday and everyone is like are u getting nervous are you freaking out aren't you worried! I don't know what I feel I trust in my surgeon I did not know what the sleeve was i went for a consult for gastric bypass and my surgeon left the room soon as he walked in I was like uhhm ok then doing my research the last five months and reading everything everyone post here I know I am on the right track. I have faith in god so I am not freaking out. I guess my question is how did you feel should I be freaking out.

What you feel is absolutely normal. Even after having the band for almost 4 yrs, not to mention several other abdominal surgeries, I almost backed out of my surgery a few days before. You're going through a huge life change and you have every right to be scared. But if you have faith in your surgeon's abilities (and you do because you chose him), you will be fine. Just think about how wonderful being in control of making your body into the healthy specimen God meant it to be will feel! Once that weight starts falling off you won't have any regrets and you'll be so stoked to get on with your life and living it to the fullest.

Just focus on the wonderful future you have in front of you, and those fears will melt away. Good luck - I know you'll do great!

Nah, you trust your surgeon so quit freakin out. It's a waste of your time and energy. Instead visualize how good you're going to feel in a smaller body. How much your entire body is going to thank you. Focus on the good stuff as the bad stuff most likely won't happen. If you've read the boards, you know that the Sleeve surgery is very successful and you're going to be a big success story. You've come this far so let go and enjoy the ride. We're here to support you and help you if you need it.

So what are the things you look forward to doing once you've passed the initial recovery stages? :biggrin2:
