I think it's completely normal to have doubts. It's major surgery. I am a week away from my surgery and I'm not allowing doubt to come in anymore- I've made my decision and I'm sticking to it. I just keep praying for peace and protection- that's what will get me through. Good luck!!!!

I understand what you are going through, I have less than 36 hrs until surgery. Although I don't have doubts, I have true concerns. I have 3 young boys and a fantastic husband that I need to get back to, healthy. I'm having 'mommy guilt' about being away from home for 3 days and concerned that the worse could happen and well, I'm sure you know what that is....but it is a true concern. What I keep telling myself is that I am doing this not only for myself but for all my boys, so that I can be a healthier mommy/wife for them and be around a long, long time. This surgery is going to be a good thing, a great thing! I get butterflies a lot when I think about it....like right now :huh: It's allllll going to be good, we got this!!!!

I don't have "doubts" exactly...I know I need this. However, my surgery is now less than 48 hours away and I'm now getting scared. Not for me really, but the "what if's" are driving me crazy. My kids are 8 and 10 and the slightest possibility of leaving them motherless makes me shake with fear. But I'm focusing on the positive...I'm going to be fine...and I will be a better, healthier mom. Doubts are normal. This is surgery and it's a big deal, but you will be just fine!

I can totally relate. I am having doubts because of all of the above things. I have 4 young children and an awesome husband, I also have never had any type of surgery that they have completely put me out for which makes me nervous. But at the same time I need to be healthy so I can be around for my family. I have tried it on my own but seem to just give up.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
