Hey! How do you feel when you comebout of surgrey? Do you feel different? I'm getting so excited and nervous at the same time.

Hmmm. Good question

First, I was in no pain. People worry about that a lot and I don't think it's an issue. I was so nervous, too, but I realized I really didn't need to be once I got to the hospital and stuff.

To more directly answer your question, I did feel different. Maybe it was because I knew I was actually physically altered, but I really felt in my head that a change was made (mentally, you know?). I was not hungry at all. The first time in as long as I could remember that I was no hungry at all! I lived my life before surgery day constantly thinking of food and wanting food - hungry or not. That day I wasn't wanting food - and not because I was recovering, so much - but because my stomach was small and I just did not need food.

Really, for me, I just felt like it was a new beginning... I can't really explain it. Food ruled my life until the moment I woke up in recovery. It will be a year on Dec 30th (a couple weeks away), and I am still not hungry or not when I "shouldn't" be

You are going to do great

Guys Im so scared. Thinking of maybe even backing out after I had my mind set on this for so long. People are completely clueless about this procedure yet they have so many negative things to say. Im 5'4 250lb and 28yr old and everyone says you can do this on your own your young. food is an addiction for me. Would you tell a drug addict no to get help from a doctor or that he could do it on his own. Nobody but people going through it understand that food is an addiction. If I don't do this I don't think I will ever be a Healthy weight. But im scared. My friend at work was like oh I know someone who did surgery to lose weight and died but maybe everyone is different and that wont be the outcome for everyone.

This is the reason I didnt share with many people the dumb comments. You have to remover WLS is for obese people with all kinds of complications. I also had a coworker say that to me at 25 years old and I didn't move foward now at 32 I didn't want to be 40 with more issues just sleeved 2/16.
