Hello Everyone! I am due to get the sleeve next Tuesday, March 25th. Up until the pre-op class I was absolutely fine and excited, NOW, I'm having crazy anxiety! I know this is what is best for me and trust that my surgeon knows what he's doing but I constantly have a person or two say "Are you sure? Why take the easy way out? Why not diet and exercise?"

I've been thinking about this for over 2 years and finally decided to pull the trigger the day after Christmas 2013. So I really don't think I am jumping the gun on this one. I know I shouldn't let the nay-Sayers get the best of me but it's difficult. I hope to find more positive vibes and posts thru this forum because I am ready for the new healthier me!

I know how you feel I have mine either the last week in march or the first week in april and I am SOOOO nervous...and like you have been thinking about doing this for two years....wish I would of just done it back then..lol.. but have the couple of co-workers who always have to ask why I just dont do it naturaly and eat right and work out...WELLLL I DID THAT AND GAIND ALL MY WIEGHT PLUS 30LBS....I am ready for the new me....

we deserve this!!!!

Do not be nervous! This is just a tool! The diet and exercise is going to be even more challenging than if u chose that route because no one else is going to understand how hard you're going to have to work to eat correctly and take your meds etc. But it is totally going to be worth it!

Dobt let anyone tell you you're taking the easy way out because it's not easy, it's just what some of us need. We've been fighting with this disease our whole lives Don't we deserve this?!

I am 11 days post op and the first week was rough but today I am so grateful I did this! I have been heavy set My entire life even as a kid and I have always been a VERY active person. Sports gyms etc never really ate Truely horrible, on occasion yes we all do, but I think it was just in my genes.

This is going to be worth it! And if you ever have a doubt, get on here and talk to other people! This is the best support forum I've found everyone is so supportive. We want to hear all about it!
