Let me start off by saying my name is frankie I'm 30 years old and had vsg on September 26th 2013 and I'm an emotional wreck absolute wreck I'm crying every day wishing I wouldn't have done my surgery even thought I haven't had a complication I'm three weeks out I'm scared every day thinking of what if I leak or what if I have a stricture or what if I never feel normal what if something happens down the road even now I'm crying I can't sleep well I can't function well I'm always scared and crying i don't know what todo I feel like iv made the biggest mistake of my life omg I'm breaking down and I need help!

I'll share what works for me' date=' hoping it will help you. What I know for sure is our thoughts are powerful. If what we are thinking is causing us pain....in that moment we must make another choice to get out of pain. I focus on what I'm grateful for. Even if it's being grateful for being able to see, taste, feel, hear, and smell. I slow down and listen to my breath knowing there is a force that pumps the blood through my body and air through my lungs. I reach out to positive inspirational leaders online and read my ass off and fill my mind with good thoughts. 2 weeks out I thought I was going to go insane. I had to dig deep. Everything is our choice as to how we view our circumstances. For me chewing was like heaven. What I know for sure is if I don't like what I am seeing I change the way I look at things. Works every time!!! I promise. You may also want to ask your doc for Xanax. It can help with emotions that may be uncontrollable temporarily. Best Wishes!!![/quote']
