I had Anxiety about everything from the Plane ride to the Surgery but looking back I wish I could have went back in time and let my Old Self Know that it is way worse in my mind than it is in real Life. I would go get one last long walk in and reflect on all the positivity that you are bringing into your Life.

Deep breaths and faith that this will all work out. It is scary as hell. I sat in the bed and kept thinking what if I don't wake up? My wife was by my side and i couldn't get it out of my head that this might be my goodbye. I have a great team of doctors that help, and my surgeon was awesome. I had nothing to do but trust in them that everything was going to be all right.
I don't know if it is fear of complications on the table or fear of a new life after, but after surgery for a few days it was a little surreal. Then the pounds started to come off, and I started to adjust. Just take it one day at a time, if you can't do that take it a meal at a time, and if you can't do that, take it an hour at a time or a minute at a time. Control what's going on now and the future will set itself. Good luck and Godspeed, you are going to wake up to a new life.
