My sleeve surgery was just approved... August 16th is the big day. I actually have a Lapband, so I will be converting. Lapband did not work for me and has been nothing bit trouble. I am scared and excited to have this surgery. I can't explain why..... Just very scared, those " what ifs" have alway gotten me. :/

Nothing to be scared about. Congrats on getting approved. Just think of all the weight you will lose and how much healthier you will be.

your new healthier, happier long life is ahead of you

you are not the first, and won't be the last that has conflicting emotion pre-WLS

most/me/all have been there done that

scared/anxious/nervous et al - goes along with having any surgery

and this particular surgery ...........starting a new life - can be nerve racking

wishing you all the best

good luck

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
