I am scheduled for Nov 9 and also nervous about the procedure (fear of pain) and the new lifestyle ( will I have head hunger and will I be able to manage it?). I also am nervous, being male, about the catheter being painful (some say it is and others say "no big deal"). But I am going to push myself through this fear and nervousness. Other people's stories on this forum have been very helpful to me in working through anxiety. Post-op I will try to share my experience. I do not know how soon after surgery I will have the energy to do it. But I will take my laptop and phone with me. Hopefully the hospital will have WiFi.

I remember siting in a dental chair for dental surgery for which 31 numbing shots were needed. Before the procedure started I felt a moment of panic but I worked through it. And by focusing on being calm, the pain of each injection was greatly reduced. I plan to use that same technique (sort of a meditative state of deliberately relaxing my body) as I am wheeled into surgery. I wish I could describe accurately how it works. But it really does help.

As always, I wish everyone on this forum a successful weight loss journey.

I will be sleeved Nov 6 as well! For now I'm more excited than nervous. I have had a lapband for 9 years and it has never quite worked out for me. I am 32, live in Chattanooga TN and am a hospital pharmacist. I'm excited to keep in touch through this journey we are all going on! I'm 5'6" and 220lbs.

I am November 12th. 5'4" current weight 229. Starting pre-op liquid two weeks out. I feel I am mentally ready. I have been looking at food so much differently now. I find it hard to watch other people shovel food into their mouths at work. I hope everything goes well for everyone - let's all post as soon as we can right after surgery...good luck!
