Hello everybody!!! My surgery is next Monday (05/14) and I’m starting to feel nervous. I don’t know if it’s part of the excitement. How are some of you handling your emotions?

Breathe! Make sure you have everything you'll need post op and for your hospital stay. Its normal to be excited and nervous, just take it one day at a time. You'll be joining us on the loser's bench soon.

My surgery is on the 15th and I am very excited. A little nervous as it is surgery, but more excited to get it done! I have been focusing on my pre op diet and making sure I have everything I need for when I come home. Just look at how many people have done this- you can too!

Yes! I can’t wait to start the next step of this journey. Trying to keep busy cleaning and shopping for all the things I need post-op. Thank you.

That’s what keeps me motivated, all the people that have done it. Good luck!

I’m two days pre-op and I am feeling crazy nervous right now. I have been good so far but every time someone asks me if I’m ready and tells me it’s life changing, I feel like I want to vomit.

I am 2 days before surgery but I have mixed emotions. I am nervous because I worry about complications because I am a VSG to RNY revision. But I am excited because I am one step closer to starting this new journey

Everybody is trying to be reassuring around me, but the closer it gets the more nervous I get also....

That’s what I worry most about, the complications post-op.

I’m going for VSG on Thursday!!! It literally just sunk in that when I wake up tomorrow, the surgical preparations begin! I can’t believe it! Right now I’ve moved past the nervous stage right into the LETS DO IT NOW stage of excitement! [emoji23] But we’ll see what I’m thinking tomorrow night when it’s time to try and get 8 hours of sleep! Ha!
