Surgery Set For The 20Th ....nervous Wreck!

Ok...So I am scheduled for vsg on this Thursday! I have to admit Im a nervous wreck. I have alomost got myself talked out of having the surgery. Im scared of the pain afterward, & I keep thinking Im not going to ever enjoy food again :wacko: ! My daughter told me "Are you living to eat..or Eating to live" !! Pretty smart thinking for a 15yr old! LOL I know there is going to be some pain involved, but I dont want to ever think Ive made a mistake by doing this! Has anyone ever gone through these feeling that Im experiencing? I know deep down that in the long road I will have made the right decision. Please keep me in prayers & thoughts come surgery day. I just want to feel "at peace" about this.

Thanks again

OMG! Me too! I just welled up over a car commercial! :-p I am scheduled for next Tuesday also - I don't know how I will handle this next week and my rollercoasting emotions! Is it the low carbs or is estrogen already seeping out of my cells? I wish I could spend this next week in bed with the covers pulled up. Lol.

OMG! That's exactly what I want to do. LOL. I'm almost at the point where I just want it done with.

I'm scheduled for Saturday. Also bundle of nerves but not about the pain. More about what if this doesn't work like the LAPBand. Totally unrational since there is so much proof on this board alone that it works. Stress sure does a number on your ability to reason!

I'm in the same boat as you. I had the band and am now getting the sleeve. I worry it won't work but all the positive feedback ont he forum has helped. I'm nervous as all can be for tomorrow but know that this is the right step.

dont be nervous i mean im nervouse my self and im just going to my first dr appointment lol but we choose to do this journey to live long and live a healthy life just remember that

Well I'm a little better...for now...that I just had my last appointment with my surgeon. He is so amazingly calming that I am more at ease now than before the appointment.

Good luck to those that are going tomorrow B)

I will have my sleeve next thursday in im going crazy I just hope everything go find I myself dont like paine too im on my diet I start that on 13 in I was 388 in to day im 378 im happy about that I just got keep it up I guess im just a lil scared but im going pray for it in for everbody eles too

Thank you. Waiting for my turn today here ay Trophy Club TX.

Best wishes to you today. I will be hoping to hear from you on the losers bench. I am heading in for noon surgery today.

I want to hear about how it went from all the people who went today. I wonder if anyone is ever really at peace before they go in. I think anxiety is just going to be a part of it. I want to hear from anyone that was 100% comfortable.
