I'm scheduled for surgery this Wednesday February 27. Starting to have second thoughts about the whole process. Is this normal?

Goya, I think its normal. My surgery is the day after yours and I'm just trying to focus on why I'm willing to do this, I am so tired of being overweight. Good luck to you.

Thank you! Good luck to you too! I know there is a lot to gain from this, it's crunch time now so it's getting to me.

My surgery is Monday. I'm not nervous at all. My husband is but I'm not. I've had 11 surgeries in the past so I feel like I know what to expect.

I've been very calm and sure of my deduction up until now. I just have to think of all the good that is gonna happen because of surgery.

Goya, my surgery is the 28th and I am nervous, but also so excited. I am sitting here wishing I had never gotten to this point that I have to contemplate this, but I did. Now I need to move ahead to be the healthiest I can be for my kids, my grandkids and my husband. I am having a pity party as I am doing my preop diet and wishing I could eat like I used to, and yet doing that is why I have to go through this. The reality of it for me is that I wish it was not the way it is, but it is and since the other things I have done did not work, this is the one. Trust me, I am really nervous, too, but trusting in my surgeon and God to get me through this. I pray you, too, will have great success.

I'm almost 4 weeks post op and I was nervous. It hit me when I got to the hospital and put on the gown, I cried from the time they did my iv until the time I was given anesthesia LOL. It's scary not knowing what you're going to feel like when you wake up, recovery, etc. but they will give you meds to ease the nervousness once you are prepped.

I've been there but trust me!!! It gets so much better!!! By day three, you will be well on your way to feeling more and more like yourself again. I would do it over in a heartbeat! You WILL be fine!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
