Hi

I am new to this site. I am having the gastric sleeve 7/6 and I am getting so nervous each day closer. I feel like I am at the point of backing out. Does everyone get feeling?

Welcome. I'm from Alabama, too. My surgery is 7/11. I'm nervous and excited and I believe it is normal and I believe that is common for everyone. You Got This!!!

I was just at one of my meetings last night for preops. They say it's normal to feel that way. Even after surgery some ask what have I done. Just pray. It will be fine.

I was apprehensive all the way up until I was wheeled back. 8 months later, I laugh at it! My post surgery life has been such an amazing experience that I just can't wait to see what is next!

Thank you all for all the positive feedback. I will also be the one that will be in doubt until I drift off on the operating table. I know I made my mind up to have this done and it will be great. i just can't stop going back and forth in my head. I feel like I am making a drastic choice but I know I've tried along time to lose weight by myself and have not been successful. I'm 40 5'1 and currently 255. i lost a few pounds on this liquid diet. 7 more days to go and i haven't been doing great on it.

I'm 5'1 and 1/2" I am 41, I started this journey at 290, but my high weight was 314. My weight the day of surgery was 260. Our stats are so close...lol. 8 months out, I'm at 201. I workout for an hour a day 5 days a week. I've been parasailing, zip lining, I can't STOP myself from buying clothes. I have limitless energy. Believe me. The decision to have surgery isn't the drastic one, the decision to keep going the way that I was for so many years...that was the drastic one. Good Luck.
