I am not sure if is a lack of food or just crazy hormones but I am starting to freak out about surgery. I know I want this but all of a sudden I keep thinking about what if the worse happens during surgery I have too great boys and a wonderful supportive husband who just happens to be deployed over seas right now that I can't imagine not seeing again. I know the chances are really small and my surgeon has a really good record of surgeries without complications but its still there in the back of my mind. Am I the only one who is having these thoughts and how do you get past them?

I am with you! I was pretty nervous a few weeks ago and waking up with thoughts of 'why am I doing this?'. But over the past few weeks I have now come to a calm about it and am anxious to be moving forward. My surgery is day after tomorrow (Tuesday) and I am placing my hope in God and my surgeon to help me on the road to being healthier. Then it's up to me!

I wanted to say to everyone being sleeved this week,that I am so proud of you !!! You are making the choice of living the life YOU choose and I am so excited for each and everyone of you.

This forum has been such an inspiration for me. I am in the process of finding "the perfect surgeon" and I am a self pay.

I have reached out to people for advice and received prompt, kind and helpful responses.

All of this said....I know I will have this wls. I am scared to death as you all are and sometimes I think the worse, but as stated, the excitement of truly enjoying life and having the freedom of not letting weight control us and our happiness will be over.

Best wishes on your new journey and I will pray for each and everyone having the sleeve (God knows who you are ) and I cannot wait to hear of all your success!!!
