    Default Just two more weeks until my surgery and I am starting to feel major anxiety

    It has been awhile since I have posted here. My surgery is on June 14th! Ahhhh!! I can't believe how quickly it has gotten here and yet at the same time the days at work keep dragging on and on. I am going to TJ on the 13th and my best friend will be accompanying me. I have done my research and have not been anxious about it in awhile but it has finally hit me. I started my 2 week pre op all liquid diet today. It sucks but I am sticking with it. I am so scared of the unknown and especially about some of the things that I have been reading. I know that I am making the right decision but at the same time, in a way I don't know what I am getting myself into because I haven't experienced it yet! Please share with me your experiences and any words of reality and/or encouragement regarding this life changing procedure. Thanks!

    ✨Breathe✨

    All I can offer is that most if not all have some form of anxiety before surgery.

    I am just over a year post op and I am ecstatic with my decision! I was so ever fortunate that I had zero complications, a few minor discomfort that were expected, but overall my experience has been exceptionally wonderful. I feel amazing! I am told often I look younger and that I glow. I embrace it.

    The first week is the hardest but not unbearable. And every day it gets a little easier and easier. Best decision I ever made.

    Hi Jennifer (HUGS!!!!!) I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! I just started my liquid diet today for breakfast and lunch. I have a month to go and can completely understand how you are feeling. I am going to TJ too. Our surgeries are just a couple of weeks apart.

Take a big, deep breath and trust in knowing that this is something you are doing for YOU to improve your quality of life. It's a big change and a positive change. It's scary and it is very exciting!!!! Please, please, please keep us posted on the site as you continue with your weight loss journey. I know you will ROCK IT!!!!!

    Hello! I am also thinking about using the Kane group. Dr. Rantis to be exact. Anything you can tell me good or bad? Thank you so much! I have SO many questions if you wouldn't mind me asking?
