My surgery is in 3 more days May 30th! Wow! It came so fast! I am freaking out thinking of all the ways it could go wrong and I would be the one that things happen to on the table(I have had multiple surgeries so going under isn’t new to me) for some reason I’m just freaking out about this time around! I’m scared nervous and excited all at once! Ughh! Deep breath! I got this right? I can’t wait to have a new healthier life style, I am not afraid of commitment especially one that will change me for the better!! I want it all too happen so fast and that’s unrealistic I think I may be too hard on myself with the amount of weight I want to lose in the time frame I’m giving myself! When it comes to challenges in crazy committed and super hard on myself I hope I’m not setting myself up for failure!! Woo that was a lot to get off my chest! I am 5’ and weigh 353 ( I have sooooooo much to lose) I have PCOS and I’m hearing things on here that I’ve yet to hear on how it’s harder to lose when having PCOS! Youch! I hope not! Old I’m gonna just go in with an open mind and hope all goes well! I will rock this!! This forum has helped me so much and motivated me seeing before and after pics and I just pray that I am lucky enough to look like any of you that have had such amazing success! Wish me luck! Wednesday is my day! Any surgery buddies that can keep in touch and help with the motivation after surgery process I would love to have a friend!!!

Hi! I think I can relate to everything you are feeling. My surgery isn't until the 11th, but I feel like I can't shut my brain off already.

Hang in there!!!! I believe the best is yet to come. ?

Hi guys

Freaking out is NORMAL!! You are about to change your life, and it is all a bit unknown - I reckon a freak out shows you have really thought this through.

Let me say - it is the single best decision I have ever made in my life (except my marriage, I have just been told to point out ?).

And we’re here for any rough spots in the journey, if you have them!

Wooooo! 3 days is just around the corner! My surgery is in a few hours and I just can not sleep a wink. It didn’t really hit me until last night when I realized that I was so not prepared! I didn’t even pack my bag yet or buy my vitamins...

I am now freaking out and trying to get out of my head but my stomach is in knots.

Good luck with your surgery and we should keep in touch since our dates are so close together! I could use a surgery buddy

First and Foremost.
You got this.

Secondly, freak out... it's fine, everyone does in some way shape or form, even if they won't admit it.

It's going to be a challenge, but, the best things comes from persevering from a challenge.

You've got everyone here to lean on. My biggest advice, is don't focus *JUST* on weight. I don't know how often I gain a little but still drop body fat. Even today, I'm up .8 lbs from yesterday, but down .1% body fat. If we only see 1 tiny part of the puzzle, we can't even begin to understand the whole picture.

Good Luck!

Good luck!! What an exciting time!!! Keep us posted!

Thank you all I go in at 8am tomorrow and I feel so sick to my stomach from my nerves it’s so crazy I’m about to change my whole entire life in the matter of hours wooof!! Here goes nothing

I am being submitted to insurance tomorrow! Nervous and excited.

Hi @ fluffyandiknowit,it's now the eve of your surgery. Have you,got everything packed? Are you ready for your big day? Do,you know yet what time it will be? And I don't, know if you ever said where you are having the surgery at? zits easier to send,good wishes and prayers? if we know where to point. them. At any rate please update us when your surgery is finished, that way we can CELEBRATE with you.!!???

I don’t have anything packed I actually just posted something asking people to make a list of what I should pack and what I should have when I get home from surgery lol it is at 8 am and I’m having it in Boston, Massachusetts

This may sound weird, but I always take my own pillow. When when I was had my baby, I took my own pillow. It helps me relax and sleep better. It'll smell like home. That's all I got, I'm still pre op haha. I'd love to know what people are saying to bring. Can you wear pjs?

No one has answered me yet lol I’m waiting patiently for answers and lists!! I’m not sure what I can wear I know they say loose comfy clothes so I’m gonna say it’s a safe bet to wear pjs

I gathered from other people: chapstick
Gas X
Biotene
Pajama shorts/pants
Pillow Wedge

Hope this helps! ?

Stretchy pants of some sort, yoga sweat or pj bottoms, don't take right ones, they blow you up,with Carbon Dioxide to the point you feel like the Thanksgiving Turkey. Hint- if you smell sweet potatoes,stuffing or butter, waddle out of there as fast as your little drumsticks will carry you. It means you have become the main course! Chapstick,Biotene and GasX strips, a charger for your cell phone if you're taking it. Slippers because those bumpy bottom socks are hard to walk on and you will be doing some walking. O would take a pen and a steno,tablet but I write poetry and like to document things. Take something from home to relax you, like that lady and her pillow. so took a homemade microfiber blanket, I always get cold, I put it around my shoulders like a shawl when I wasvrevovering from knee surgery, even a small stuffed animal, it's your party so if that is what it takes to rock,it, I doubt anybody will laugh. I'm a tactile beastie so something to stroke and rub my fingers on. But most of all take deep breaths and know you're going to,be n e out just fine. Hugs, now put that pretty smile on, relax and remember you're loved here.???

Thank you that was helpful you’re very funny I like your sense of humor
