Good luck. Don't be scared. Use that negative energy being excited. What you are about to do is just the best. Your kids are going to have a much fitter mum, you are going to start a new chapter in your life and all that excess flab that you have been carting round for years will at long last go where it belongs-down the loo!!!!!! Exactly where useless crap belongs!

I'm just over five months down the line from my surgery and although I can be a miserable, grumpy old git, the majority of the time I am walking around grinning like a complete idiot because each day there are so many exciting opportunities opening up for the slimmer me. Just simple things but big for me. Just wish I'd had my surgery years ago.

Go for it girl x

Oh no!! You'll be fine!! I'm the queen of surgery!! I've had 8 surgeries in just a few years and it is scary but it's useless to worry about. You need rest so the surgery will go great and you'll be better soon!!

Good luck!!

You've seriously got this!! Chin up, soldier. Fear is normal. What makes you different is that you are choosing to take action WHILE being afraid. Not many humans experience the joy of that. You can do this!

you'll do fine. good luck. When you get to the hospital let the nurses know you're scared and they will take good care of you and hopefully give you good drugs. :D

I feel the same. I have 24 hours til my surgery and I feel like I shouldn't do it, ever since I watched a RNY being done on YouTube ????. I'm like what if I die later from internal bleeding or something.

Totally normal. If you want to, tell the nurses you're scared. Most likely they will be VERY reassuring. They've seen it all and know how to handle scared patients.

Ok is this normal? My vsg is in less then 12 hours and I am scared to death I am trying to sleep and all I can think is I need to hug my kids and make arrangements in case I don't wake up from surgery.

Please don't think like that. Everything will be fine. Just pray and ask God to protect you and he will.. I'm having surgery. On Thursday the 14th. Although I might be a little nervous but I'm believing that everything will be fine..

      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?
