Yay congratulations ?

Hi everyone after 9 long months I have my surgery date on 10/17. Although I am super excited, seeing a recent post on an acquaintance’s social media has be a bit nervous. He talks about the good, bad and ugly from his 5 year post gastric surgery journey. I must say this is making me feel conflicted now about the surgery. Any positive thoughts or vibes?

My surgery is already on October 3rd. So nervous I can hardly sleep at night. Hope everything goes well. So worried

Hello. It's been a long 9 months for me as well. I started my journey in January with my first appointment with my surgeon. I think anytime someone has elective surgery there is always the question of are you doing the right thing. I just try to think of the positive things that brought me to this point. Losing weight, feeling better about myself, being able to do the things I use to do without pain, hopefully preventing future issues and diseases associated with being over weight etc. Everyones experience is their own you have to remember that. Just because something happened to them or they felt a way doesn't not mean that will happen to you. Maybe it's just that the long process derailed your excitement maybe or gave you time to second guess your self. I've had friends do this surgery and all I can say is it gave them their life back. They are half the person they were literally and have been living their best life ever since. With all this being said if you still feel conflicted maybe you should consider postponing your surgery in order to give this more thought and do some soul searching. This is after all a major decision and should be regarded as such. Otherwise good luck and congratulations on the 17th ?

Thank you Linda this is exactly what I needed. Even in my exercise group we have this saying which is “remember your why” when we feel like stopping. This is my journey now and has been, there is no stopping me. Thank you for your words and congratulations on your October surgery date also ?.

You are very welcome I'm glad I could help. You are right there is no stopping you especially when you remember why you started your journey in the first place. Reach out anytime you feel like you need to?
