Surgery 2/22....Scared and Excited

[boymom2 17]

Surgery is set for 2/22 and I'm really nervous. I don't want to focus on all the negatives that could happen, but my anxiety is taking over....any other people out there feeling this way?

I think the majority of us 'sleevers' were nervous to some extent. I was actually fine and dandy and excited up until 2 days before hand. Then I got super nervous and anxious. I actually went and hugged my good friends and told them all how much I loved them (just in case of course lol). But the hospital told me I could take a xanax prior to showing up to calm my nerves and once they put me out, I woke up sleeved Nerves are normal but there isnt one thing I regret about getting sleeved except that I didnt do it sooner. Congrats to you! 10 days and youll be on the 'losers bench'.

I'm not nervous yet, but am sure I will be as the big day gets closer. Right now I am in insurance limbo. If they come back with my approval I could be sleeved as soon as March 5th. I need this so bad that all I have done is syke ,myself up for he big day.

Congrats to you Bunny for the awesome job so far. The rest of us will be with you shortly. :-)

I'm scheduled for 2/26 and feel the same way. Excited but nervous! It's a big lifestyle change. Hang in there, I'm sure our nervousness is all for nothing

Hi, my surgery is 2/20 and I'm getting so nervous about it too. I'm so afraid something will go wrong or that I won't be able to lose the weight. I have a million thoughts running wild in my head. Like others have said, I think it is normal. Good luck to you,and me on our new journey.

I was nervous up until the time I was put under.... Then afterwords a little depressed. I never realized how much food had been a part of my life till after the surgery. So I had some ups and downs the first week afterwords..... I am definitely getting better though and I am very glad I did it. I think we all go through pre-jitters when opting for any type of permanent surgery.

My surgery schedule for the 19th. I am beyond nervous and excited. I keep thinking I wish it was a year from now and this was all behind me. Good luck to everyone
