Is it normal?

Hello... I'm new to BP. Thought I was 100% certain about having surgery (sleeve), but I keep thinking "Am I REALLY doing this?!?!" Have done all evals, except for meeting w/nutritionist. question. Am I normal? Is it normal to be overly certain one day then not the next? Truth is I fear complications but as my hubby said, I could have a heart attack, etc. due to the weight I'm carrying, HBP, diabetes, etc. Thanks for "listening."

      I had the same roller coaster of emotions! I am 4 days post op and it wasn't easy but I am just about pain free now and get full on 2 oz of protein shake!! I know it's gonna be worth it!

      I was very much undecided. I want to lose the weight but at what cost? I have minor anxieties about whether I can stick to such a minimal post-op diet.I don't worry so much about surgical complication

      Yes, you are very normal. This is major surgery and though complications are very rare...they are very real and can happen to anyone. Your husband is correct, there are many complications to conside

    I went through this too until I had my ekg a couple weeks ago. It showed that I have an enlarged heart due to my weight. That was it right there. ... no more second guessing. I have to have this surgery because my fat is slowly killing me.

    I'm in Texas. No date yet. I'm wondering when the doctor will set one.

    I'm in Lawton ok and my surgery date is 12 may and i have had my doubts, but then I look at my chest from heart surgery and the doubt goes away.
