I wasn't afraid for some reason. I trusted my surgeon totally. I know multiple people who he's preformed surgeries on, and they're all doing really well. I didn't even let anyone come to the hospital with me, cause I knew I'd be fine. I just told my mom that I would call/text her after to ease her worries, and I did lol! You'll be totally fine! The likelihood of anything happening during surgery is EXTREMELY low! You've got this!

My surgery is on Friday. I just feel like I am waiting for my death. It is so terrible, and I am so scared ugh! Anyone else feel that way? Am I being overdramatic? Please provide some encouragement!

You're looking at it the wrong way....You're waiting for your new life! And trust me, it's going to be better than the old one. Unless you are underweight, weight loss is a positive for everyone. You'll be fine and it's time to get excited about this new chapter!!!

It is normal to feel concerned. However, these operations have advanced so much that 1000's are performed weekly. Trust you surgeon and surgery team. They will take great care of you. This is the beginning of a healthier you! Be excited!!

I was very anxious when I had my first abdominal surgery, but it went fine.

My second abdominal surgery...fine.

Third...fine.

Fourth...fine.

Fifth...ditto!

I'm still alive!

Chin up, chuck!

Same! I had no fear! The staff was kind of taken aback because I was all smiles and joking with them. I also didn’t have anyone at the hospital with me. I was alone my whole 2 day stay, no visitors. I’m sure the OP is fine now

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
