Ok, I'm so beating a dead horse but today I have my last preop dr visit with sx scheduled for March 21. I have had a MASSIVE resurgence of fear!!!!! Will I be able to adjust to the new life?? What if this and what if that??? Very unsure and scared right now!!!!! I guess I just want to know if its worth it. Plain and simple.

My surgery is scheduled for next month and with it being so close my nerves are getting the best of me too. These forums have helped me tremendously. Every time I have considered backing out I stop and think of all the health risks that come with being overweight. Or the fact that after my weight loss I won't be out of breath just walking up the stairs in my house and will have so much more energy. It's a big step but it's nice having so many on here going thru the same thing and hearing so many say they have absolutely one regret only and that is that they didn't do it sooner. We can do it! Good luck on your journey ))

Thanks guys. I just can't get around the fact that its permanent. There's no going back after the surgery is done!!!!

Permanent is good! . I say this because I have been fighting this battle all my life! So I personally needed a permanent solution! And the quality of life is so good with this surgery. I am 6 weeks out and I feel so amazing. I have so much energy, and I am able to eat solid foods today! Woo Hoo! And I am down well over 40 lbs.

I do understand your nerves, because this is big. You are committing to live healthier. You are choosing to love yourself more than you love food! But it's a good thing, I promise!

It is normal when I was rolled into the OR and introduced to the team I really had a case of o'crap what am I doing. After waking in recovery with nothing to drink or eat It really hit me what did I do. But I would do it again and advise anyone to do it. I feel like Superman and have had no problems or side effects. My energy levels are high and I'm only 3 weeks out. Good luck and enjoy your new life.
