Surgery is scheduled for 12:30 today and I'm so nervous and scared, and I'm not sure why. This is something I've been working towards for a year and it's been all I could think about and now that it's here I'm like ok do I really want to do this? Some words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

Just take a deep breath and try to relax. What you are feeling is normal, we wait and wait, hover over the internet and this website for months, and then when our date creeps closer we begin to panick a little. I went through this too. Just remember all the reasons why you made this choice and try to focus on how healthy will feel as the weight starts dropping off.

My prayers are with you today. You will be fine and after a few weeks of recovering you will feel great.

God Bless,

Shell

October sleevers unite! I felt the same way. The only regret would have been not giving myself this new life. Next couple days are over before you know it!

I did the same thing before my surgery. ACtually almost called it off 2 days before. Then I prayed about it , didn't call it off and walked into the hospital before surgery never feeling nervous or anxious. It's been a little over a year since my surgery and it's the best thing I ever did. I had the lap band before I moved to the sleeve and it has been awesome. I have had no problems and have felt great. It's the best thing I've ever done. Hang in there it will all go great and it's very normal to be scared. This is life changing.
