I know this is redundant on this site, but I am terrified!! I feel like cancelling this surgery...this is my 3rd time around as some of you know and Im scared of the surgery, and of failure...this is my last hope, I did do well with the band, until it prolapsed and then gained 40 lbs back...but the sleeve did not work for me, so is the 3rd time a charm....Oh God I hope so...I just want to start living my life again...Im not a spring chicken anymore, I will be 57 in Nov...The surgery itself scares the crap out of me, but the though of failing again is just as scary.....Im suppose to be eating my last solid food this morn..for weeks and I dont have an appetite...Ha...isnt that ironic....

Sorry for the complaining, I am just really really scared...

I'm sorry you are so scared and that you have been thru so much. That just sucks That being said, this is your last weight loss surgery so you need to go for it. You've been thru too much to throw it all away now!

My surgery is the 7th and I'm scared too. I think we all are. I just keep thinking about the payoff at the end of this. Hang in there and vent here for the release!

don't be terrified. Don't be scared!! BE POSITIVE!! Go to support meetings. Look at other people who are slimmer and healthy. You have to change your attitude before surgery, because if you don't then it will be a total waste of time. Stay positive and focus on your goal. Focus on being healthy.

Im not scared of the life change, Its the surgery itself and possibly developing a leak......I know someone who did get leak aand it was really scary...this time next month I will be able to relax....I wish i could feel better about it before, guess i just need some reassurance..thanks for all the help everyone....

There are horror stories for everything but luckily, they are the exception not the rule. Hang in there!

Thank you Lisa.. :wub:

Good luck Vicki! Statistically, the odds are in your favor. You are doing this, so you don't have to live with the issues you had with the band and VSG. Keep strong, you can do this!

Thank you Madison, Im sure you all know how much these posts help....I love you all for the encouraging posts...I wish you all the best as we go down this weight loss journey together...*HUGS*
