So today is the day before surgery. Oct 25th is the day I become the new me. I'm so nervous. I couldn't sleep well, today I'm on a bowel prep and strictly clears!! I don't know why I'm so nervous/scared. I'm so afraid of complications and of course the pain. I do not do well with the slightest bit of pain :(

I hear ya there. My surgery is November 6th and i'm nervous and scared as well. Just keep trying to think about all the positives. How much better life will be, all that once used to stop us won't be able to anymore.

if you were not nervous then I'd say you were not ready. This is a huge life-changing decision and therefore it's quite normal to be going through all sorts of emotions prior to surgery.

best of luck to you and I'm sure all will be fine! take a deep breath, visualize the New You and get ready for the journey.

tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life

i was nervous, scared, excited, many feelings prior to WLS, most fellow sleevers have those feelings - your concerns, thoughts are normal

i never thought i might have complications. i think i was just naive. - no problems for me - WooHoo

as far as pain, i'm a woos (probably mispelled!) too. hate the thought of pain

hopefully your pain will be minimal, maybe even non-existing - i didn't have any pain at all

good luck tomorrow

you are off to a great new healthier, happier new you

be happy

speedy recovery

You will do fine! I remember thinking, I am going in feeling good but coming out feeling cruddy! haha It is the truth but really worth it. Just be patient with yourself and keep reminding yourself that the bumps you will encounter are only temporary and that you can do it. Good luck tomorrow!

I didn't have much pain at all after the surgery. I did use the morphine on regular basis in the hospital and I didn't feel anything. Just a little when getting up and back in bed. This is a no sweat procedure. You will do fine...... ;)

I'm right there with you guys. Boy oh boy do I hate pain. However, the positives out way them for me. I can't wait for my surgery so I can stop being afraid of living the way I want to live. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
