    The "losers bench" is a good thing!! It means you're officially on the other side of surgery and are going to start losing weight with the rest of the sleeved family. Surgery for me is 19 days away

  • @@MrsSantiago silly head put a pair of warm socks on don't you feel better now?!!! speaking for "MOST" people many, many, many, ma...........are nervous prior to surgery never had surgery

  • I think the feeling is normal. I have had several other different surgeries, and felt the same as you each time. In fact, I am having the sleeve on Monday the 28th, and my nerves are about shot alread

The only one who needs to understand it is you! Merry Christmas and good luck!

It's normal! You've got this! Embrace the excitement of a new you!!

Stay focused on why you decided to do this, and think about the reasons! But I understand your thoughts, because I too, am thinking them!

Surgery for me is 19 days away but it is all going by so quickly. My sister asked me the other day how I am so calm. I told her it's probably because it just hasn't hit me yet haha. I'm getting more nervous by the day but I'm trying to focus on other people's positive success stories. That helps a lot.
