November 11th-Sleeve revision to Bypass

Just got my insurance approval this week for the revision from sleeve to bypass for GERD. Super nervous on how this will go. Although I know what the recovery is like with the sleeve and the post-op diet etc., I’m just not sure that knowing all that I will have to go through again is helpful in calming my anxiety about the surgery.
When I originally did this in 2014 my circumstances were different. I was single, living in California and my family was nearby. Now I live in Boston, I’m engaged and my family is 3k miles away. I’m nervous about the recovery and being sick & in so much pain in front of my fiancé.
I’m just hoping that going through this again will get rid of the severe GERD.

Anyone else experience anxiety about revision or have any suggestions?
Thanks
