I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow 9/4 and I am extremely nervous! Mainly because of my size and risk.

Congratulations! I have a bit of anxiety because of my size and the risks as well. I have been able to alleviate some of the anxiety because I know that the pros outweigh the cons. I know this to be true.

You will do just fine! Hang in there and good luck!

I went thru that anxiety myself in June. One side was "Am I doing the right thing"? The other side was "will the scalple slip from him hand"?

I know I was doing the right thing, I tried every diet there is and nothing worked, so that wasn't it...They don't use scalples anymore (unless they ABSOLUTELY have to), not to mention I had complete confidence in my surgeon, and still do, so that wasn't it either. I was nersous, its to be expected - It is major surgery after all. And since this was my first in surgery in 16 yrs, yes I nervous as hell. After awhile I calmed down and was looking forward to what the future will hold for me. And with the Good Lord Above, the future looks brite.

You will be alright. Stay focus.

Dude, I was 5'6" 373 pounds. 56" waist, 28" inseam. 5-6x shirt. I also had hbp, irregular heartbeat, sleep apnea, and a host of other comorbs.

They were able to do mine without going open, out of the hospital day after surgery.

I was sleeved on June 4. I'm at 258 now, wearing size 44-46" waist and a 2x shirt.

Get up and walk the halls as soon as you are able, that will help with your gas pains, and get you feeling normal quicker. You can do this buddy. Only a complete idiot would go into this without a little anxiety.

Here's to your new life buddy. Good luck on your journey
