Surgery tomorrow morning!

Nerves are here with a heavy hand. Feeling excited and sure that I am making the right decision but of course have lots if worries. The what if something goes wrong during surgery? What if I don't lose weight?

I've taken today off work. I couldn't sleep last night and am just trying to take care of myself today. Any suggestions from those who had the day before jitters?

I'm nervous that even with surgery, I won't look much better. My day of surgery weight is about 435, I started the process at 476 in January. I'm 6'. Almost 30 yrs old. Anyone in a similar bracket?

Thanks everyone!

I started at 378 and 5'9" and when i finally hit my pre op diet i was 356. I am now 5 months post and weigh in at 263. It works! Must have to do what ur supposed to do and stay on task. Its ok to feel nervous and worried. Its surgery! I didnt really get nervous or worried. When they wheeled me down the hall i got a little fluttery but i think it was more from excitement about changing my life. Just keep ur head up and all will be great. I wish u the best of luck and hope to hear from u after surgery. Btw, welcome to the club!
