Surgery tomorrow so nervous can't sleep!

I am scheduled for surgery at 730 am tomorrow morning, and I am so scared right now. I am terrified of not waking up of what they will do to me between 530 and 730 while I am awake. I am having second thoughts now for the first time. Is this normal? Can someone please explain exactly what will be done before I'm put to sleep? Like how many shots, etc. Thank you

I have my surgery tomorrow and I am also nervous about everything. I did fairly well on my pre op diet but had instances where there were a couple of cheats. I also got my cycle today and that makes me even more uncomfortable.

I was sleeved one week ago tomorrow... My experience at The Barix Clinics was about the same as everyone else had described. I did get a catheter but they didn't do that until I was already out cold. I'm 6 days post-op and feel better and better every day. Also down 16lbs since surgery. Follow everything they tell you and all will be fine! Good luck to you!

I am getting surgery tomorrow. I too and also very nervous about not waking up. I have been assured by the medical staff that everything will be okay and that it is a very safe procedure. Any help to help calm my nerves would be great!

I have the same fears. Right now I'm only concerned about waking up and waking up in manageable pain. I dont wanna wake up screaming in discomfort. I'm doing ok with it for now but I know when I'm in ur shoes ill be freaking out as well. Just breathe and realize how many of these great people have done what youre going to do and they made it ???? personally I'm jealous lol I dont wanna wait till January. Get some sleep and know this is your last day of the old you ???? my kids and I will pray for you for fast recovery ❤

Thank you! That really helped me calm down a bit. My doctor even told me I was a low risk patient so I guess that's a good thing!

Good luck with your procedure in January!!! I will keep you posted on what to expect ect.
