Ok I'm getting ready for my surgery which is scheduled for 9/25. I know it's going to be okay, but I am still nervous about it

Nerves are normal. Second thoughts and cold feet are normal. Focus on what you will be able to do with your new life. What kinds of things does your weight hold you back from? That's what I thought about. I even had second thoughts when they put me on the table. When the anesthesiologist said "Okay, I'm turning on the gas now," I started to think "Wow, I didn't even have time to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." Then it was done.

Of course you are nervous honey. You are about to have major surgery. What you are feeling is completely normal. Just try to remain calm and remember that lots of people have weight loss surgery and are just fine. You are going to do great. Good luck!

Sexymomma - Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!

Why am I sooooo nervous??? It is not my first weight loss surgery! I had a lap band placed in 2006. Revised to the gastric sleeve just last year...July 2017 and now scheduled for the granddaddy of all RNY on September 26th due to extremely painful GERD!

I can't enjoy the excitement of being scheduled because my head space has me hung up and all in my feelings! The strangest and most frustrating thing is I can't figure what in the HECK I'm even nervous about!

Tell me there are others out there that have been on this emotional rollercoaster while on their journey's.

I can't be the only one.....right???????

I would think. since this is your Third you were going to be super-relaxed , but guess what? You ARE a people not a plastic doll,with a plastic smile on your face. You are warm and have feelings. And,most important,, You are doing You and you are,do8my your own path and journey. AND THAT IS OKAY!

It's a super smooth procedure. Your nerves will smooth out as you get into the process. The best to you on getting through it and Happy Healing!!
