My surgery date is tomorrow, I have to be at the hospital at 8AM. I have been so excited for weeks looking forward to a new me. Now I am terrified. I cannot sleep and the tears are flowing big time. I know I am doing the right thing but I am so scared. I have never had surgery before. I am really freaking out. Please send prayers my way guys.

You will do fine. You have researched the surgery and know what to expect. It is completely normal to have these feelings since it is a "major" surgery. Good luck.

Hey sweetie

I felt exactly the same way and now 6 weeks out I would do it all again in a heart beat! I'm down 35lb and I feel so much better. Today in London we have had temp of 35 degrees and normally I would have melted in the heat but today I was fine!

Stay strong and remember why you are doing this. You have an amazing an exciting future ahead of you and in a few weeks you will be so glad that you have chosen to take control of your life for you!

Sending blessings and well wishes your way!

Let us know how you are after x x x

I will be thinking about you! Im sure you will do great!

I will be on the operating table here in Houston around the same time as you - I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 for a 9:30 surgery. I am excited and nervous AND STARVED!!! I have been on a lquid diet since Tuesday and it is killing me I will send prayers your way up until they put the happy juice in my IV - then no telling what I will say

My surgery is tomorrow too! I am so nervous. I'm downloading a bunch of Kindle books for the 3 day hospital stay...trying to keep my mind off it.

Good luck!

I am praying for all whose big day is tomorrow!!! You guys will do great, I am so happy for you.

God speed!!!!!

Praying for you now. I love my sleeve and would not change a thing!! Hang in there and have a swift recovery!

I hope everything went great and you have a speedy recovery today!!! Update us soon!

When I was sleeved in April, it was my first surgery too. I kept telling myself that even though it was MY first surgery, my Doctor and his team have done hundreds. It was all very routine to THEM. Also, statistics show you are more likely to die in a car crash driving to the hospital than during the sleeve surgery! Hope you are doing great.

Good luck! I will save a spot for you on the loser's bench!

I got my very first surgery in April of this year and I was absolutely terrified as well.

Here is the best news: you won't remember a thing and it will feel like an instant. The anesthesiologist came in and said he was giving me some 'happy juice' to help me relax and they would so the rest once I was in the OR. I had been so nervous that I crashed out before they even wheeled me out of the prep room!! I remember him telling me about the happy juice, then suddenly they were waking me up and asking me about my pain level. I kept asking when they were going to get started because I figured for sure they couldn't have done the procedure yet.

So don't fret, they know what they are doing and to you it will feel like an instant. Then you will suddenly be on the road to recovery!

I've only been put under once in my life, but it happens really fast - you'll have an IV and then you'll wake up and be like, what happened? I'll pray for you to overcome the fear. You will be just fine!!

Well, by now you have had your surgery! I am sure everything went fabulously! Let us know how you are feeling as soon as you are up to it.
