I think most people feel that way. I sure did. But its ok to feel that way. You are making a huge decision that will change your life, but for the better. You will be surprised at how quickly this part goes by!

I do, and I'm still 3 weeks away. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. ONe minute I'll be excited, the next I can't believe I'm doing this to myself. No backing out now. So many people say "if I can do it anyone can do it". O.k. we'll do it then, right? Let me know how it goes.

Everyone feels that way right before surgery. I would be concerned if you didn't at least have a little trepidation, it is a major surgery after all. That being said, VSG has a very low complication risk. You will get through the surgery just fine and you will be soo glad you did! Good luck, your new life awaits!!! :D

I am 8 days away from my surgery. Was not nervous until my pre-op visit when everything got me. I am super excited but super nervous. Good luck to everyone going in this week!!

I know I felt the exact same way. Now eight months later and 14 pounds from goal it all is a distant memory and the new freedoms this surgery brought about are amazing. You'll do great and you can do this. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself, ever. Hang in there.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
