I Need To Leave This Forum Until I'm Post Op

I have become obsessed! I am on here multiple times every day. Though I've learned so much about the sleeve surgery, I am starting to freak myself out now. My surgery is scheduled for October 11th! I am confident that I am making the right decision for me. But I must admit this past week has been really stressful. I am such a control freak and the fear of the unknown is driving me crazy. All the positive experiences that people are having are very encouraging. However the horror stories aren't helping my nerves right now. Combine that with all that I have to do at work before I go out and I'm a mess. :-( I've prayed about it over and over and over again. I know I'll be just fine! I will be happy to report back to you guys when I'm on the other side. Thanks for everything sleeve fam!

What ever will make comfortable is what you must do. Keep this in mind:

GOD WILL NEVER TAKE YOU WHERE THE GRACE OF GOD WON'T PROTECT YOU. You will be in great hands. Let us know how doing and see you after surgery. ;):)

Oh my I feel the same way. I feel bad for Iggy and i hope you she comes through this. But at the same time I keep telling myself not to think negative. I still haven't had a date yet BUT GOOD LUCK!!!

If you have to.. Do it! I let it freak me out too haha i was crying my eyes out being wheeled into surgery (1 month ago next week!) and I had every scenario bouncing around in my head... I woke up and I was fine! There are definitely a few horror stories but most aren't! Be prepared, but in all honesty I wouldn't sweat it :) easy for me to say now, but I wish I wouldn't have been so upset before..

Thanks everyone. The support here is truly amazing!!

I have no clue about Iggy, I guess I will have to type in horror stories or something in the search box because everything I have seen has been so positive! I really like what cool breeze said about god wont take you anywhere that his grace wont or cant protect you, that was beautiful and i agree completely! Do what is best for you Ms. Neta and be sure to return to keep us all updated!!!!

I too am completely obsessed with this forum! I should be asleep right now 17 days until surgery and I am a complete mess!!
