Hi guys my surgery is May 14th and i want to call my surgeon and cancel!! I feel like im loosing my **** and to top it off someone on one of the other forums had a friend pass away from vsg complications. Is this normal, i think I'm going crazyyy sorry this is just venting but yes im losing it!!

Mine is the 14th as well and I have been in hysterics all day. The thing that makes me excited is looking at people's before and afters and how happy they are. But at the moment all I seem to think of is all the negatives so I completely get it.

I'm having my surgery on May 14th, too. I was really nervous last week and wanted to cancel, but this week I'm excited and ready to go!

I freaked out the week before. I was crying in the operating room when they put me under. I thought the worst.

I am okay, it wasn't as bad as I thought, and you will be fine too.

Personally i had these same feelings but every time I felt that way, I just said "it's booked, just one day at a time and you'll get through it." My surgery was the 29th, exactly one week ago. I am already up and about and loving my sleeve! I'm down 7 pounds this first week and I'm on liquids still. Granted its boring, but it works. I'm looking at food differently. I got a mani pedi today and realized I forgot lunch and now have reminders on my phone. This will work for you. Trust your decision and have faith that it will work out!

I am having the same worries but am just trying to tell my self that this is for my health & my family! It is hard sometimes!I don't have my date set should know tommorrow.

What kind of complications?

I believe that I read the same incident, the person who died was in the upper 400 range, was a man with history of clots and had a stroke which is very sad. These are rare instances and aren't related to the type of surgery we are having as much as the general risks of any surgery. I too have a history of blood clots, so that story stuck out to me. However we discussed the risks with my doctor and took extra precautions (blood thinning injections that I gave myself and still am now ) . Any surgery has these risks. But the percentage is minuscule compared to the long term health risks involved in being overweight. And especially being young, the statistics are that as we get older things continue to get worse, 95% of the time. These are the things that I repeated to myself when I got nervous, and I hope it helps in some way!

My Dr told me today that is a 1/400 chance of that happening

Noo it was a lady from my fb group she was pretty young and left three young girls. I understand all that and once all this is over i will probably laugh it off. But now i cant seem to be able to shake anything off!!
