My surgery is Monday and im starting to panic!!! Im scared of the surgery itself plus the fear of not getting enough water and protein.....I don't want my nerves get the best of me and have me back out....I've wanted this surgery for so long and worked so hard to get to this point to have my own fear make me back out at the last minute.....did anyone else feel like this right before surgery? ???

Heating pads work wonders for the gas pain! I had my heating almost 24/7 the first week!

My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday the 18th and I too and am feeling this way. I had a major melt down last night and have had this anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach all day today. I thank God for being able to come here and read everyone's thoughts and advice.

Same day as me. Are u on a pre-op diet?

My first post here -- even that makes me nervous! I completed the weight loss pre-surgery program with one hospital, got clearance from my insurance and decided I was not comfortable. I think it's important to listen to those little intuitions and I visited a second facility and surgeon. What a difference! I know its going to make a difference in my confidence level, taking the time to find the right surgeon & after care support that's right for me. Now, I'm just feeling impatient, waiting to get cleared (again!). My only fear now, that my husband and daughter will hate the changes that need to be made in our house. Like my dysfunction is rubbing off on them. I know, in the end, it will improve their health as well -- but I'm afraid of their disappointment at having to change 'for me'.
