getting nervous

So up until now I was fine. Surgery is this Thursday the 14th and im soooooo scared. I dont wanna be in pain. Plus I hate pain meds and the way they make me feel. I also have an anxiety disorder and im freaking myself out. I keep thinking the worst possible senarios. Anyone else having doubts? Someone please tell me its not as bad as people say it is so I can get through this.

I was also sleeved on a Wednesday and by Friday evening was off of pain meds. I'm not going to lie or sugarcoat it you will be sore BUT the more you move around the better you will feel! I was sleeved on Wednesday and out and about on Saturday (still a bit sore though). It'll be worth it though! I was sleeved on feb. 27, started liquids feb. 18 and have lost 37 lbs.

Yay. That makes me so relieved. I dont wanna have to take them for too long. How is ur recovery going?

Great I had my surgery on 10/10/12 and am down 119lbs, I couldn't be happier! Good Luck to you!!

Thats awesome. I cant wait for the surgery to be over with and I can start my new healthy life.

My surgery is tomorrow and I also have an anxiety disorder and am really nervous. I think," what am I doing"? Just got to try and be positive and pray, pray, pray, that everything will go okay.

My surgery is also tomorrow. Saying goodbye to eating as I have known it has been very difficult for me. Not so scared of pain.

Time to celebrate getting rid of our old eating habits.....Now it's time to focus on healing and healthy eating habits for life. Oh, and the best side effect is you will get skinny and look hot and SEXY! Yep, I said it, SEXY! :)
