Dr Garcia is doing mine and my Moms sleeve June 8th at Cer in Tijuana! It's getting so close now! Im getting anxious about the procedure and my Mom being ok. I know it's nerves and everything will be fine I'm just starting to freak out a little!

I'm also starting to have mini panic attacks about the foods I will miss lol This is silly and I'll get over it but I'm mourning my food addiction I guess lol

I'm also starting to worry about gas pain after, hunger pains, and dehydration headaches!! I'm just in the worry stage I guess everything is starting to sink in!!!!!

I know the feeling. My surgery is 28 th. I have worked in hospitals for 25 years. You would think I would not be scared. My other big concern is caffeine withdrawal headache. I have cut way back and I get up with a headache every day. I gave up the diet Pepsi two weeks ago. Now I have one glass of tea every day.

I wish you and your mom the best of luck. You are going to be fine.

Thanks Hun!! I've also worked in hospitals for ten year as I nurse I think I know to much and it makes me freak out!!! I should know it will all be ok but the what ifs get to me!

I also get up with a headache everyday. I find it's a lil better with a cup of green tea but I'm soooooo ready to be headache free. They suck! Soda withdrawals are tough lol but worth it I know! Good luck to you as well. Feel free to message me after the 8th I'll update you on the process! Or follow me on here I plan to post all about it!

What helped me was watching a video on you tube of the surgery. I think knowing exactly what they do made me feel better. Makes me kind of know what to expect. It's funny how we nurses think.
