My surgery date is December 20. I am so happy and ready for change. I am also scared to death. I have not had surgery since my tonsils were removed in 1981.

I'm the same way! My surgery is Dec 17th. I go from excited about post op and my future and afraid of what surgery is going to be like. I've had laparoscopic surgery about 8 years ago when I had my gallbladder removed so logically I'm not afraid - emotionally I think every other day "What the heck am I thinking". All I can remember post op from that is that it was painful to twist around to wipe because they punch through your ab muscles haha.

I'm also at 4 weeks, and it was the best decision I've ever made. I was really nervous before surgery, but now I'm so thankful. I only needed pain meds the first day, and it was much easier than a c-section. My blood pressure is way down, and I feel great. Best wishes. I hope you have the same experience I've had.

My surgery is December 1st too!

I was doing great until my PA met me and started telling me about pulmonary embolisms and how I had to walk every two hours after surgery for ten days or I could get one and die. I tell ya he made me very afraid. I'll be setting my phone alarm for every two hours and walking.

My surgery is 12/16. I am going to Mexico and am scared. But excited. I did my research and feel secure in the choice. But the whole MX thing is out of my comfort zone. I am a super conservative gal. But I start the pre op diet on the 5th. I am moving forward.

Hey Shonda. My surgery date is December 14, and I'm VERY nervous. Somehow I'm just having a tough time with the concept of having a large portion of my stomach removed. I guess my real fear is the potential post-op pain, however, I do have a lot of confidence in my surgeon and the nursing staff at my local hospital here in Los Angeles.

I know we can all do this! :-D

Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

Thanks. I am looking forward to the change best wishes on you big day!

That's relieving to hear. I've had a c-section and I recovered quite well. I get sleeved on Dec. 5 and I'm nervous about the recovery. I will have to jump right back in to my routine. I have a 5 year old and a 1 year old.

Mine is December 28th and I too am completely terrified. I'm excited for this and have prepared for the past 6 months but the reality is so scarey. How soon will I be able to get back to normal activities? Will I have complications? Will I be able to do this on my own? I live basically alone, caretaking for my elderly mother who lives downstairs. Will she be ok, will I be ok? I know this is what I want but it's hard doing this so much on my own without much for support. No friends who understand and really not much for help. I almost can't wait for this to be over as the next month of fears seems overwhelming.
