Shallow Nerves?

My sleeve is scheduled for May 15th, and I don't think it's really hit me yet. I feel like I'm just getting ready to go on vacation and not about to change my life. Maybe I'm just living in denial? The only thing I'm nervous about is losing hair and saggy skin. You would think that I would be worried about the surgery itself and the recovery process, but nope, I'm worried about something superficial. Anyone else nervous about "stupid" things?

No, I was terrified of something going wrong during surgery or after, of puking, etc. As for superficial stuff, I worry about losing my boobs and butt. Had my sleeve done May 1st. I bled from one of the blood vessels attached to my spleen. Lost 400ccs of blood. Didn't realize it until surgeon told me. He had to put a stitch in to stop it.

Yes. I was worried about surgery itself. But also have been taking sublingual biotin for months before surgery and still after. Ice liked at some things for saggy skin as well on Pinterest lol. Nerium Firm looks promising but super expensive. I'm hoping maybe out won't be too bad. I'm afraid to habe plastic surgery. My doctor told me that I will need to have the excess skin from my belly removed after I lose the weight ?
