The date is set 31st of March

I've been heavy most of my life!

I've tried so many things to lose weight but none worked out.

So I finally decided to have a surgery, I was going back-and-forth between Lapband and gastric sleeve but finally I decided to go along with the sleeve.

I'm not getting any younger will be 27 in April and I want to live my life in a healthy way.

My surgery is scheduled for March 31st (exactly 5 days from today) and I am both excited and nervous!!! :unsure: Looking for some encouragement during this time, anyone else doing the surgery on 31st of March?

Any advice from people who have already had the surgery?

Wish me luck :)

    I'm also scheduled for March 31st, with pre op tomorrow. I'm super EXCITED! My husband just had his on March 6th and I was anxious and nervous and every other emotion you can think of, so I got that out of the way with him. My motto is the positivity breeds positivity. Think good thoughts and image yourself doing well postoperatively. Also, remember why you're doing this...a better quality of life! (For most ppl). Also, think of all the wonderful things you'll gain. I wish you a successful journey on your new path of life.

    May the road rise to meet you!

    My surgery is also March 31st. At this point I wish it would just come on. I'm so tired of thinking about it and worrying. 4 days and counting. Lol.

    Same here, totally tired of thinking and worrying about it.

    Hope all goes well :)

    I'm also scared, but try to distract yourself with anything so that you wont think about it.

    Hope all goes well with you :)
