I'm scheduled for 5/30. I have anxiety that I take medication for that controls it really well, but I'm unbelievably terrified about having surgery. I've never been anesthetized and I'm really scared. For me, the prep and post-op diet is totally not an issue. I'm trying to calm myself down, but the closer it gets, the more nervous I am. My mom and brother both had bypasses and neither seems to understand my fearfullness about this. I'm really scared something is going to go wrong and I'm going to die. I want this so bad, but keep seeing myself rolling out of the bed, gown flapping in the wind, butt cheeks on display, IV bag trailing behind me as I stumble down the hallway slurring, "Nope! Not today, you butchers!" as I make my escape. The weird part is, I'm an excellent surgical candidate, my surgeon is very experienced and I'm relatively healthy. Am I the only one who is terrified of the surgery itself, constantly second guessing this decision? But then, the idea of staying this way forever is awful. Just looking for some support

Hi teather. I deal with generalized anxiety and panic disorder. Was sleeved 5/7. I understand how you feel. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions. The docs gave me anti anxiety meds before I got wheeled back. I had also taken my klonopin before surgery. It helped a lot.

You should consider weaning yourself down or off AD's. My surgeon is a man of little words, LOL, and he was...disgruntled that I was still taking Paxil at 1 week, LOL. Since surgery I have gone from from 30 to 10 (week coming up), Paxil, and onward to 0.. Its tough, and I get weird symptoms, but nothing to stop me from progressing. Can't wait to be free after 10 years.

I do plan on it after I lose more weight. I'm on zoloft and get the zaps if I miss a day. I've been on them forever so it will be nice to get off them.

My surgery was May 9th and it has been no where near as difficult as I thought it would be. I'm down 5 pounds already since Wednesday!! Y'all will do great!!

I had mine on May 2nd and at first I was regretting my decision ( buyers remorse) but now im feeling great. I still forget to chew my food until baby food consistency and no drinking while eating

May 8th here... I'm hanging in there. I gave myself a goal of walking 5,000 steps every day this week and 7,500 every day next week.... we'll see how that goes. I really really really wanted to go back to work tomorrow and Tuesday for a training workshop, but I don't think i'm ready yet. I'm still hoping I can make it for Tuesday. Three of my incisions are under my boob, lol, and I can't go anywhere until I'm ready to put on a bra!

That’s so good, you go girl! My husband is doing good other than tired of drinking the shakes and he doesn’t like the broths. So idk what he can really have other than, egg drop soup, sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles. I just feel so bad for him when he are all eating in front of him. I’m trying the best I can to be supportive and not eat bad or in front of him but he says eat whatever. I’m so glad for this site as it helps me and thank you as well.
