Ok after waiting 6 months (b/c of my insurance) tomorrow is the big ay. I have been SO motivated and ready for this...until today. I'm really starting to worry and frankly feel bad for myself. I'm so fat that I need to surgically alter my body.

I never worried about anesthesia before, have had prior minor surgeries in the past, but now I'm starting to panic about that and the recovery.

Ugh!!! Freaking out here. Want the F#$@# surgery over with at this point.

Guys please tell me its worth and that I'll be ok.

Thanks for listening.

Believe me...it truly IS worth it, and you'll be just fine!! I can tell you from the experience I had as well as from those whom I've spoken to, the hospital staff are very comforting and supportive, the entire process is fully explained, and one of the best parts is you aren't going to remember any of the surgical process...before you know it, you'll be on your way to a better you! As long as you follow all instructions, you will truly be just fine!!

You are going to do great! Do not beat yourself up over having surgery.. it is what it is! I have lost 80+ lbs in almost 5 months! 8)

Surgery is scary...but "you've got this!"

Think about the benefits afterwards... the way it's done now is less tramatic to your body...

Take a deep breath and just do it! You won't regret it; best decision I ever made for ME!

Most of us felt the same way. It's excitement for your future. This is the bravest thing you can do for yourself. I am 3 weeks out. Everyone's recover is different so just know this....I am so proud of having this surgery I would not change it for anything. You will do great. Be waiting here for you with the rest of us losers.

Its worth it. I was scared too. Surgery is scary but it is worth it.

Completely normal. Everyone has some fear. The night before my surgery I didn't sleep, I was up all night long. So I know what you are going through. Luckily, once you are in the hospital you have people there that talk to you and understand what you are going through. It makes it easier. It will be over before you know it. Good Luck!

I'm four weeks out tomorrow. The waiting is so hard. Thinking about surgery for months. I felt something close to shame right before my surgery. It passed. Now every morning I wake up and smile because I feel so much lighter. It's like a new freedom. The first two weeks were challenging but worth it. It's natural to worry about the anesthesia but it'll be fine.

I DID IT!!!! I AM SLEEVED!!! Exausted and sore but so glad it's over! Thank you all for your support!

Glad you are well! Walk and sip, walk and sip...

Take care

Congrats!!! Success is on the way!!!
