Hours away, but why

Why am I not feeling happy?? Instead I feel very depressed like if I'm expecting something bad.. I need some good vibe and I don't know to be honest I feel like canceling but than I say I've waited so long now that is here I feel very confused..

Very normal to be apprehensive, scared, excited. You have done your research and you know this is going to lead you to a healthy future. Believe in your surgeon and team and start your ride!!! Good luck!!

Thank u! I think u are right I feel very scared, excited n all this other emotions that I don't have control.. I will relax n believe in my surgeon, thank u

I felt the same way. In fact, I felt like it wasn't going to work, I was gonna die before it happened or something with insurance was going to fall thru last minute. But here I am, 3 mos out and 52 lbs down :) What you're feeling is normal. You won't regret it!! Good luck :)

You will do great. There is no free ride but it really isn't bad. Wait till you are walking, feeling lighter and putting on smaller clothes. It is great. Remember you are going to be fine!!!!

I like the feeling lighter part lol... Thank you very much for your encouraging words :)

Last minute jitters pretty common on here, and for most BIG days in our lives:). Please know we are thinking and will pray for a wonderful surgery and recovery!!

You will feel better once you get the cocktail at the hospital before surgery.

I really wanted one for the road before I left but was told no.

Some bs about laws and ethics and whatever... I dunno I stopped listening.

It is totally normal to feel scared, apprehensive, freaked the flip out, sad, excited, and any and every other emotion you can think of. But just think about why you are doing this and how much your life is going to improve.

And if that doesn't help drink some vodka.

What? It's a clear liquid.

:-P

I am having my surgery tomorrow too and am feeling the same way ... I'm nervous and having some serious anxiety . I know I have been waiting for so long to have this surgery , but right now I'm freaking out a little ...

Lol sounds like a plan the vodka part! :) thank u!

I'm scheduled for this a.m. too. Was very nervous/anxious last night. Really was considering canceling but after talking to some folks here, I'm ok. I'm praying for you guys today. I am looking forward to the pre surg cocktail though :)

Hang in.... I was sleeved on 7-25. Felt awful for the first 4 days or so. Now.... It's a whole different story!!! I feel great. Down almost 20lbs, happy and beginning my journey toward a healthier and skinnier 'me'. Keep thinking about the future. There's lots of good stuff coming your way!! Best if luck : )
