How do I keep calm?

[Heyher 581]

Been working since basically July to get my surgery after debating about WLS for most of my 20's. I got an email today confirming 2/25 at 7:30 am with my preop Friday 2/15. Up until today it has been a goal. Something to focus on. Now that I have it I'm freaking out!!! Now I'm really having those thoughts of can I do this? Can I commit for the rest of my life? What if there are complications? What if I don't wake up? What if??!?!?

Ahhhhhh!!!!!

First of all, congratulations! Second, how you feel is completely normal. I think most of us have had those feelings.

What I did was focus on the things I would be able to do after surgery. How much healthier I would be. The fact I would be around for my kiddos to grow up...

Complications do happen, as most surgeries have a risk of complications. Only you will be able to decide if its worth it to you.

My husband and I were sleeved 5 weeks ago today. We feel great! My husband is down 55lbs and I've lost 46lbs. Best decision we ever made.

Good luck, however you decide!!

Thank you. I'm going through with the surgery. I'm in disbelief that I am scheduled because for so long I have been offering support while waiting my turn. Now that its my turn I can't calm myself. LoL!! 19 days away. Just keep it together for 19 days.
