So...just was talking to my husband. He has to work on Thursday, so he won't be able to take me to the airport for my flight at 7pm. The last time I'll see him will be at noon before he leaves for work. He just walked out the door to go return some movies and I'm sitting here blubbering like a whale. I just keep thinking "what if that ends up being the last time I see my husband? What if I don't make it home?"

I really need somebody to talk me down this evening. I've officially hit the point of panic.I can't stop crying, and I can't even think straight. Is this normal? I'm so afraid.

Aw, I'm so sorry that you are so upset. I'm sure that everything will work out fine. I have not had the surgery myself yet, but from what I've read on here and other forums, this is totally normal to feel this way. Hang in there and go in optimistically. You will do great. Just think of all the reasons you are doing this. You'll be in my prayers.

I think it is very normal to have fears. I know I did. I did not have to leave my husband to fly away, but I had the sames thoughts when he left me in the pre-op area. I just kept telling myself that the chances of something going wrong in surgery were way less than the chances of something happening to me if I did not have the surgery.

Don't be afraid. This surgery was much easier than I had myself worked up for it to be. It is still surgery and the first few days were a little rough, but not nearly as bad as my imagination. I am now 1 month out and so glad I did this. I now weight less than I ever have in 15 years.

Good luck and let us know how things are going.

Thank you so much for your kind responses. I think I'm okay now...I just had a little hour long freakout for a minute there. I am so blessed that I have a sleeve twin who called to check up on me and talked me down from my ridiculous meltdown. I'm still a little bit on edge, but I'm sure it's nothing more than a little cold feet. I just have to make it through these next few days, and I know that things will be so much brighter on the other side of this surgery.

Hey everyone!! I am a newbie on here but I just absolutely love love love this site! I know this may sound like a never ending repeat but I have finally made the decision to get sleeved and I would like to know if anyone is having surgery with Dr. Ramos-Kelly around March 16th. Also if anyone have any pics of the Oasis Hospital in Tijuana please reply or email me privately at angelia2931@yahoo.com One last thing I am SUPER nervous but I know this too shall pass

Hi PYT,

there is a March Roll Call thread and there are some patients scheduled for March 16, but not sure if any are with Dr. Ramos Kelly.

There is one on the 15th of March with him though, so you will probably run into her.

March Roll Call

well....look at this way....if it is the last time you see him....you won't know it....so don't dwell on it too much. If its your time to go...its your time.

Seriously though...you will be completely fine and when you see him next your new life will have begun!
