My final appointment with the surgeon where I sign my life away is this afternoon. All of a sudden I'm a nervous wreck! :unsure:

It came outta nowhere. Maybe it's because I have to choose someone to make decisions for me if I'm unable to. I think it might be because it's about to really become official, like "no turning back, you're getting on that table in two weeks" official. I was expecting to feel this way two days before surgery not two weeks before.

Anyone else feel this way?

I am right there with you I have not been able to sleep because of my nerves lol. I am excited one minute then scared the next. I think that this is normal to happen. I go for my EGD tomorrow and my surgery is scheduled for next Monday the 7th of October. I have been reading other peoples stories about their nerves and I think this is something that everyone goes through before they have surgery. Just know that you are in the best hands and say a prayer knowing that everything is going to turn out alright and this is your new beginning. My theme is "A Brand New World" and I am looking forward to it even through my nerves.

I'm Oct 23rd...exactly 3 weeks away and I'm excited and very nervous...the upside is I was having surgery no matter what to remove a large cyst from behind my intestines so they will already be in there..Lol! IJS why not knock out my health and weight issues at the same time. But no seriously I'm nervous because it's just natural, I'm pretty sure everyone on this forum has experienced it ..but after going through this since January I'm so ready to get it done and move on with my new life. ;-) I pray you surgery success and a speedy recovery. Kind Regards, K

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
