Hello all! I am new here and I just wanted to say hello. My surgery is in three days and I am really scared. I have little support and I hope to meet some friends and find some inspiration here.

Re: Hello
✨Welcome!✨
You've definitely have come to the right place, I found reading older threads extremely helpful when I first joined the forum.
You will find a fountain of support and sage advice from veteran sleevers, as well as those in their early stages.
Watch Dr. Matthew Weiner YouTube channel for what to expect before/after surgery
Congratulations on your decision, and know your life is about to change for the better in 99% of most cases. For me the risks were less than if I stayed on the same path.
Wishing you best of wishes!HW: 245lbs (11/15); SW: 226lbs (5/17/16) - Height: 5'6"

Re: Hello
Being scared is completely understandable I'm pretty sure we all were before out surgeries, you will be just fine. It doesn't say where your going or who your Dr. is but I'm sure you've done your research and made an educated decision. It's hard when there's not allot of support but you will find it on here for sure. Best of luck to you and please keep us posted!!!!Originally Posted by reef420

Re: Hello
Welcome!
It's normal to feel anxious/nervous/scared/excited all at the same time. This is a life changing decision!
Best of luck as you embark on your journey!
