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.

F**k yes it's normal!!

Your entire life is about to change!!!

It matters not whether change is for better or for worse...

It's still change..

Therefore, it still SUX!!!

Do what you gotta do to alleviate the fears...

Hug your kids...

Kiss the dog...

Pull the cat's tail.. (Stoooopid cat!!)

Leave the milkman a letter stating your undying love for him and his sweet, sweet goodness......

Whatever you gotta do..

It's Sleeve Eve!!!

It's just like New Year's only 87.49 billion times better!!!

You're allowed to be twitchy and s**t...

You'll be fine I reckon...

You've too much to live for to let anything screw this up...

Now go send some weird text messages to random phone numbers then get some sleep...

You've a big day tomorrow...

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!

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.

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..

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
