I reveived the official letter with all my dates. I think that since it is officially count down time I am freaking out. I have all these people opinionating and tellung horror stories. I have beeb very uneasy and questioning myself "is this really what you want to do"? I am so scared that I will not go thru it. Again, I am always weak and never have energy for anything maybe this is the reason why they are concerned. I am just a mess with racing thoughts. I had a hirrible experience with surgery before too and this could be the reason why I am so scared and they are too. (Parents , husband, sister)

Dont be my surgery is schedule for march 5 and i feel the same. Just remember we r doing it for our health and leave it gods hands ge will see us thru

It is major surgery. It is normal. My hubby was same way. Once done and I made it through first few weeks they are taking it better!

Good luck!

You may be scared now , that's perfectly normal with any surgery . I'm an RN who is to bd sleeved 3/6-13 , this Wednesday . While I'm totally psyched I also have those thoughts . But know this ..... If we could lose weight on our own we would have ! Think of this as a tool they are giving us for Lifelong ..... Eating control so we may become healthy. My highest was 321- today on day 3 clear liquids I'm down to 313!!! Together with support here we can do this . I hope to hear more of your story and look forwArd to sharing you mine . My friend and coworker was sleeved 1-10-13 and is down over 31 pounds ! She's eating smaller portions of regular food and doing great !!!! Best of luck !!!

I am exactly the same way. My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday and I'm a roller-coaster of emotions. Up and down, excited and scared all at the same time. --Is this right? What is my problem? Can't wait to wear those clothes in my closet. Why can't I do this on my own? This is too expensive. Wow, it is going to be great to get on a plane and not worry about fitting in the seats. I can't wait.-- All at the same time!

I was scared & had fears too. I had heard horror stories and had a family member who had a bleeder and a blood clot....

I put it out of my mind and I prayed. I made an appt with a dr and I canceled before the consult. I did this 6 or 7 times and I prayed and asked God to guide me. I made the appt, went to it and scheduled my surgery that day.

I told my mom, husband, son & best friend. I prayed over it daily. When the time came I was calm and on the day of surgery I was a bit nervous but I was ready. I turned it over to God.

I'm not one of those religious fanatics that preach & preach, but I attend weekly Mass with my family and I believe in miracles of The Lord. I believe in the power of prayer.

I pray that you will get the answers you need.

Thank you and I appreciate all the prayers. I can also tell you that I have been praying and asking Jesus and the Father to guide me and to make me clear so that I can make the best decision for me and my family.

Thanks prayers are welcomed

God bless you!
