You will be fine! We all have had those same feelings. Keep looking ahead. The best for you is coming. This time next week you will have something new to be thankful for!

You will do fine!!!! I wasn't a bit nervous before my surgery. I had wanted it for so long (even had to gain 4 pounds to qualify). It has been a tough road, but I sure don't have buyers remorse now.

Good luck to you!!!

What I'm truly afraid of now is mostly the procedure itself and hoping it all goes okay my son deals with a lot of anxiety and is asking me all kinds of questions that in turn have my own mind going crazy!! Lol

I totally understand! I also had my surgery Nov 10th and although I had 4 months to prepare, it was really hard to keep my nerves in check that day! I had to just completely detach myself from all that was happening and really trust in my surgeon, my decision, all the research, the emotional and physical preparations I had done, and just not second guess any of it anymore. I really had to just shove aside all thoughts of what was going to take place with the surgery, the recovery, the rest of my life, etc. and kind of go into everything kind of numb emotionally. It worked and I was able to find a calm place during those last few hours leading up to showtime!

You will do fine! After months of anticipation getting to this point, the surgery itself is sort of anticlimactic. You fall asleep, then what feels like a second later, you wake up and it's over. You are sore for a few days but that's very temporary. I am a week out and it is just now starting to sink in that I am beginning a whole new wonderful life!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
