Surgery Tomorrow, Honestly terrified



Recommended Posts

So my surgery is tomorrow and honestly im fucking scared I feel like I know this the right decision for me I'm 20 years old a college student and I feel like my life is just getting started and I'm doing the surgery now because I want to have a life I have no friends spend most my days inside and I do want to change that I've been heavy my entire life ever since I can remember, I found this forum 15 minutes ago while browsing the web my current weight is round 470 pounds I am motivated to change that's not what I'm worried about I have started exercising I've been in my liquid diet for 3 weeks I've never met or known anyone on a personal level who's had this surgery let alone struggled with weight I'm doing the surgery so that I can have a life.

I guess I'm still scared maybe it's the hospital or anesthesia or I don't know.

I don't know why I came to these forms maybe I'm just looking for someone to say that I can do it. To believe in me maybe I'm just scared.

You will be so glad you made this decision. You would like a lovely young woman and you need your outside yo match your inside. The first few weeks will be tough as you'll be tired but in the grand scheme of things, it's a mere blink in time. Make certain you grab all the help you can especially in the first year. Make it count. You can do it. Prayers be with you.

I don't blame you for being afraid, but just hang in there and know you're life is about to change tomorrow and the steps you'll take thereafter you will no longer be a prisoner trapped inside your own body. You've come this far for a reason you can do this. Heck I commend you for sticking to the liquid diet for 3 weeks you've won the first battle, you went to all your appointments saw your specialists and did everything required of you and that was not easy. I wish you a successful surgery and a painless and speedy recovery.

Its completely natural to be scared. You are undergoing a major surgery and it is going to change your life.

Saying a little prayer for you and your surgical team tomorrow.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
