Surgery in the morning

Hey folks my band to sleeve procedure is in the morning 12-5-2014 and my nerves and anxiety is at a all time high. So if you would everyone send me positive vibes that I don't die. Or get a infection or blood clot. I am a nervous wreck.

Wishing you a safe surgery and quick recovery. I'm scheduled for the 18th same surgery. Good luck.

I wish you a safe and speedy recovery. I know how you feel. I'm scheduled next Wed, 12/10 I have so many crazy thoughts running through my crazy brain. I really try focusing on the positive. And praying always does the trick. You have come this far. Keep us posted.

Good luck on your surgery. I had mine on Aprol first this year. Conversion from lap and to sleeve. I am 57 years old. Surgery went perfectly for me no complications good recovery. First week just felt weak until I could start my protein shakes. It truly is a life changing new beginning. I wish you well. All will be fine

Hey folks. My surgery was canceled due to my potassium being low and they could not get it above 3.0 so I have to be rescheduled.

Rats! Hope you are rescheduled soon!

Sorry Dustin hope you get rescheduled real soon. I had revision from band to sleeve 11/10/14 I am doing great. Try not to be nervous it's not as bad as the band was.

I'm scheduled for surgery in the morning. My nerves are still out of control. To be honest. I am mentally fried from all the highs and lows.

Try not to worry as you can see from this website it's the best decision we can make for ourselves. my doubts were just like yours and negative thoughts ran into the first day of surgery, but after that it has been really easy compared to the band I had. If we could have done this on our own we would have by now. God know we all tried multiply times. Relax feel comfortable with your decision to get healthy.

Good luck on your surgery! I am actually going to see the Doctor in one hour to have the discussion on band to sleeve. I am nervous too!!! So tired of the pain and discomfort of the band.
