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!!

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!!!!

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'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 : )

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
