As I get closer to my date... Fear is in the back of my mind.

Hi!! When is your date?.Mine is tomorrow and my emotions are all over the place. I'm excited that I am going to be starting my life over but I get nervous especially thinking about what's the worst that can happen. But I know God's got me. I just gotta stay prayed up you know. But don't be nervous. I just keep telling myself the pros outweigh the con's and we will be ok. Good luck to you

I understand your fear. I think we must all go through the fear and doubt of the unknown and if we are doing the right thing. I'm scheduled for surgery sept 22nd at 9:45 am. I'm rethinking it also but am going to continue pushing through because I hear to keep your eye on the prize! Keep thinking positive and we will all be on the other side together helping others with their preop questions and fears. Best of luck.

My date is October 2nd... I wish you all the best!!!

Fear is normal. I was sleeved in april and was petrified. I was so nervous and on bridge of a panic attack. But it was ok. After surgery your going to have good and bad days but when they say it gets easier, trust me it does. Just relax and have faith everything will be ok. In a few months your gonna be thrilled u went thru with it. Good luck everyone

Im pretty sure we all have been through it.. Take some deep breaths and think about the new healthier you that is coming.

Thank you all for the encouraging words!

@@Carlagrant, make sure you find the threads that are specifically for people getting sleeved in October (I am too!) so you can share your stuff with people who are in the same place as you. It makes it easier, I think.

How do you make the weight lose ticker??? and I understand what you are going through. this has been a roller coaster of emotions so far fro me and I am only a week into it. I believe my surgery will be in Mid December, so i will keep going through the emotions till that day and I am sure afterwards as well...

I was scared to death up until the point that the IV drip started taking effect. Its normal. I do feel regret once in a while, but then I step on a scale or climb a flight of stairs and then asked myself why didnt I do this years ago.

What are the regrets you have sometimes? Just that you had it done or that you have to change your entire lifestyle? That's my fear and my boyfriends too
