It's my turn for the gastric sleeve tomorrow morning (8am). I feel nervous and weird...

I started at my surgeons weightloss center on Jan 29th 2017. I am 5'9 and I weighed in at 271 pounds. This morning I weighed myself at 216 pounds, so I'm heading into surgery somewhat lighter than I expected. I am thankful for the program I've been through and the time I've had to adjust things in my life in preparation for this.....(although who knows how I will feel this time tomorrow!)

Having said that, in still terrified but excited to get through this next part. I haven't been on the forums long but I am so grateful for having access to something like this - shared experience. I've learnt a lot & really love having the support of others who get it.

@@katie09/21/2016 First of all - WOW - great job pre-op!!! You'll be ahead of the game for post-op living!!! Best of luck with surgery and recovery!!! Let us know how you are doing!!!

Jitters are normal, I think. I even second-guessed my decision for a while afterwards. I had RnY on 6/20. Down 70 lbs from highest weight one year ago. Best decision I ever made for my health. First month is kinda rough, but by the end of the second month, it's a new normal. ????Totally off Metformin and off one of 2 BP meds. More energy and stamina and mobility. Can I eat whatever I want, how much I want, whenever I want? Course not! But that's kind of the point, isn't it? Best wishes today and in your healthy future! Keep us posted.

Its normal to be nervous. You will be fine.. you will feel a little discomfort but no pain.

First 3 days post op was hard. I am 8 days out, back to work and my surgeon told me today I was near perfect in my recovery. You may second guess but this is the best thing I have done and I bet you will feel the same.
