I am new to this site and please let me know if I am not using it correctly. I am going to have my surgery on May 30, 2013 and all of a sudden I am getting anxious. I was so excited and could hardly wait for this day and now I am a little afraid and hoping I am making the right decision. Has anyone felt this way?

This is normal, a lot if us felt like this. I had fleeting thoughts of taking out the I.V and running even after I was prepped for surgery LOL. I am so happy though that I did this it was the right decision. I know some people even ask for anti anxiety meds before the surgery, I think you can get something right before or sooner even to calm your nerves. Hang in there

Only everyone!

I'm 6-4-13, so only a week behing you. Look at the "presurgical" threads for help, and consider getting "The Big Book of the Gastric Sleeve" that can walk you through most everything!

Oh yeah it is normal..... You got this.... And for the majority of us it has been the best decision ever! There is a small percentage that do regret it...... However, for most of us within a few months our lives have improved so drastically. When i try to remember what I went through before the surgery becomes a blur.... Forgotten.....

I've never felt better. I will take loose skin over a slow suicide any day! I've actually been sick less, no allergies, no asthma, no lower back pain!

I was a little freaked out the day before surgery, but I knew I was about to do something that was going to be transformative and got through it - and I am so glad I did.

By far the best decision I've ever made!

Good luck to you!!!
