Tomorrow 8/23 is my surgery. I am excited, nervous and scared. Am I going to be able to do this/ Will I lose weight? Will I hate my choice?

I do not have large BMI and people have been questioning my decision. I do have diabetes, GERD, High blood pressure, sleep apnea, and a little bit of high coles.

I haven't told many people not even most of my family because I hate the negative reactions. I told them im having hernia surgery(which they are doing as well)

I'm starving ,,,,,Clear liquids only today...and my surgery isn't until 4pm tomorrow~!~

Please give me some encouragement!

Good luck and best wishes! I only told three ppl about my procedure... I didn't want any negative comments either, or any ones opinions for that matter cuz my mind was already made up. Your going to do great!!! I'll keep you in my prayers ????

@@frozengrapes It may not be an easy road but you will be so much healthier! Stay strong!

Good luck to you - I'm going in tomorrow, too! It will be a great day for bariatric success. We'll be happier and beautiful together!

By the way - re telling people: I was selective in who I told, but am generally adopting the following attitude. I'm not proud of needing this procedure, but I am not ashamed of it, either. I am successful at many things in my life, as I am sure that you are, too. None of us can be successful in every realm. We can protect ourselves from people who we think might not "get it" but I don't think that we have anything to be embarrassed about or feel shame over, either.

I am in the same boat sister with the exception that I have minimal health issues associated with my obesity.....and I don't want any either which is why I have elected the surgery. I am scared too. I am already mourning the loss of my relationship and the joy I had with food however it is that relationship that got me where I am today. We will both get through this and fast forward one year when we are thinner and healthier we will why we did not do it sooner. Hang tough and fight through those doubts. You got this.

Im not scheduled until 2 so im sitting here starving and wondering if ill be ok....grr

Good luck with everything! I'm sending good vibes your way.

And hey, who you tell is up to you...and I wouldn't blame you for being selective about talking about it when you're getting negative reactions. As long as you're doing what you need to for yourself, you can't go wrong.
