I am scheduled for lap band to VSG revision surgery June 23rd and I'm a nervous wreck. I know I need this surgery without a doubt. I don't know if it's because I'm in the medical field and know way too much about what could go wrong or if it's the fact that I'm a revision and I know that the complication rates are higher for me. I keep thinking I have two children and what if something happens. Wouldn't that be selfish? I know it's selfish the way I'm living now too. I hardly do anything fun anymore because I deal with the aches and pain and fatigue that comes along with being morbidly obese. I have prayed and I know God will watch over me but I can't get the fear out of my mind as the surgery date nears. Are any of you guys with scheduled revisions feeling the same way as I do? I think I will be a complete mess come surgery date.

Im looking at your stats and your weight doesnt seem soooo bad. i mean you said that you need this surgery? are you faced with medical problems now because of your weight? or r u just having band issues? im guessing your band is still in?

I'm not sure if you are talking to me but I'm assuming you are since I'm the OP. I would say at 5'4 and 242 that my weight was pretty bad. That is a BMI of 41.5 which qualifies me for surgery without the added comorb of hypertension that I have. I did have complications from the lapband as well.

Thanks for your honestly regarding your anxiety. I was approved last Thursday, and was told to just let them know the date I want. I was calm until I talked to my husband. He is making me nervous. But I can't let him know I am nervous. I failed my band, and I want to do awesome with my sleeve. I have been trying to have this surgery for 3 years, and now I am finally approved. Crazy.
