Pre Op

I have 14 days until my surgery and I am so nervous

What surgery are you having? I was really nervous too. Just remember at all times why you are doing this. I always ask the anesthesiologist for help with my nerves and they are happy to help!

I’m getting the Gastric Sleeve

that's pretty normal. I was freaked out about it, too. But...everything worked out great!

3 weeks post-op - I feel like I was one of the few who didn't get nervous before surgery! It wasn't my first one so that prolly helped as well.

You'll do great! Ask questions, tons of people around here to answer and help you!

I’m also getting gastric sleeve but on 11/18. Smack in the middle of my pre-op diet right now. I’m too crabby from hunger to be nervous! 😂 Reading about the experiences of other people on this app and in Facebook groups has really helped me feel like I know what to expect.

I'm nervous as well. Like@planetabbi my surgery is Monday as well, but I'm getting a loop duodenal switch. I started my pre-op diet this past Monday and have already dropped several pounds. Good thing I like shakes! lol
Hang in there, we're all here to support each other!

I had a mix of emotions, excited, nervous, frightened... but 14 months later realise it was the best decision I made
