Kinda sad and lonely.....

[Udesirekye]

Hi everyone,
my surgery is monday. I was so excited and anxious. Now I'm sad. I just wanna cry. I have no family and friends here and I've never gone through a surgery more than a simple same day surgery which I had my fam n friends here. Nobody to hug and hold and say it's gonna be alright. It's a terrible feeling. I feel like even the ppl from my job could have been supportive in some way. I just feel like a loser. Has anyone been in this situation? I mean, I get sad over missing my fam and my dad that reventdidf but shouldn't I. Be excited? I'm worried about everything. My finances. My health. I have slot of weight to loose. Sometimes I don't know if I'm even able or capable of it all 😔

Surgery is stressful, and it's normal to be scared. I was sleepless for days the week before and my husband was also really nervous.
I live overseas and while I of course had my children and husband here for support, I did think about doing the surgery in an other country and I knew I was going to be fine because the medical team would be great and there to help me. Plus you have us here, your friends on this forum! you are not alone!

You need to think in a positive way, it's important to relax and see yourself in a really near future, with a slimmer figure, less health issues, enjoying a happy life!
Getting the sleeve probably saved my life. Each year my health was getting worth. I have not reached my goal yet but I'm confident I will....and do everything I can to succeed!
You are not a loser because you're getting a much needed surgery!! you are doing the right thing for your health, obesity is a disease and you are asking a surgeon to help you. Numbers and studies do show it is the only way to loose weight and not regain all of it like with only a diet.
You will do great, have the surgery, follow the guidelines, reach a healthy weight and feel better. Keep that in mind! Good luck for the surgery, best wished for a fast and easy recovery! take care and keep us posted!

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. It's very hard to not have support, but you can do this!! I pray you have an easy surgery and I'm sending lots of hugs your way!

I had a ton of weight to lose in the beginning of my journey as well. And nit much support until closer to my surgery date. But you can absolutely do this! It's so so worth it. Good luck to you dear!

I am sorry you are sad. You are not a loser. Anyone who makes the decision to have weight loss surgery is brave and definitely not a loser.
I had my husband with me but I really just wanted to be alone and not have distractions. Healing takes energy and you will have less distractions on your own. The things you are worried about like finances and amount of weight are all variables that can and will change. You, your health and your happiness are your focus! Go get it girl! You can do it !
