I get my surgery March 19th and I'm extremely nervous! Anyone want to share how to stay calm?

Congratz! Mine in on the 14th!

Mine is the 5th. I feel like Feburary is going to drag out. I just can't wait!!!

What do you feel nervous about? Are you scared? I feel like I should feel differently. Lol. I'm excited for it to happen... but I don't really feel nervous/scared about the surgery. I think once I do my pre-op done, maybe I will be more nervous.

I'm scared but more excited. I try not to think about what could go wrong because I can't control that. I just have to let it go. I do my best to focus on the good things to come following surgery. I bought my daughter tickets to a concert today for her 10th birthday and the concert isn't until October. All I could think was that by then I won't be embarrassed to barely fit in the seat!!

I'm nervous because of the anesthesia! Lol. It's always been so weird how fast they can put you to sleep! My awesome doctor and the staff that work alongside him, tell me it's just a quick little nap they will take care of me. But I feel so idk shaken. I guess prayers and faith that God will see me through is all I need but I'm still nervous. And congratulations to all of you!!!!!!! I'm excited to share this journey with you all and can't wait to hear more about your journey!

And lol you're going to fit in the seat and be just fine! Your daughter is going to be like my mom is hot! Lol.

I'm also nervous because my mother, got the gastric bypass 10 years ago and had so many complications. :'/ she almost passed away at one point! But my aunt had the sleeve done and she looks amazing no complications!

That makes a lot of sense. I had the Essure procedure done in September last year and it was the first time I had been under anesthesia since getting my wisdon teeth out - something like 10 years earlier. I was nervous then about the thing going in my hand. Now, I am kind of freaked out about the catheter and the breathing tube - but I guess I try not to think about it. My other concern, which I try not to think about, is what if I die? I haven't told any of my family that I'm doing it. No one knows this is about to happen. So I guess I try to avoid these thoughts and I suppose I'm really being dishonest. I am nervous too, I just try to think about how excited I am instead like vdub. The more I think about it, the more impatient I get. The days are passing so slowly it's like watching paint dry.

It's not if I could die more like will I wake up? Lol I don't know I'm weird. Lol my boyfriend says I'll be fine and he will be there with presents when I wake up. But I'm still nervous lol. I'm nervous and excited all at once lol.!

That's awesome I'm thinking about moving it up lol. I'm pretty impatient! Lol

I bought some gasX strips today, they really helped after my last surgery. The gas pain was soo bad!

Congrats on the approval....I feel nervous but more excited as well... You will do fine.... Just have faith and know you are doing something to improve your life..... my sleeve is scheduled for March 13th.... couldn't come at better time... my birthday is March 20th.... kinda like an early birthday gift to myself

Just keep busy the surgery really is not bad,

I had my surgery here in NY on the 18th it was over before I even knew they started which was awesome! came home 2 days after , slight pain from the gas but not much in my stomach more in my upper shoulders walk walk walk makes you feel better. Now 2 weeks have gone by and 12lb down the only issue I'm having right now is wanting something to crunch on so ice chips or ice pops cut up are filling that need.

Don't stress the surgery it's fast and pain is little

So excited just got my date of march 13 th..so excited, nervous, excited, nervous..lol
