Hi guys! Okay so I am scheduled for March 6th for my VSG. And I’m having tons of emotions. Extremely excited, scared and almost sad? Anyone else ever feel this way? HELP PLEASE!

Hopefully your anethetist is great. I had to meet mine before surgery and told him I was so scared, my previous surgeries were emergency C sections where I lost my mind in fear. He told me he would give me some of his famous "gin and tonic" before we entered the operating room and "trust me, people reallllly like my gin and tonic!"

When the time came for that to happen, I was so scared it wouldn't calm me down. I was so scared I'd cry or cower in fear.

It was amazing. I instantly stopped giving a shit. I climbed on the table as asked with zero fear. Don't even know when I went to sleep. I just woke up!

Honestly I went into it cocky about my recovery. I felt because of my C sections I knew what to expect and I'd be fine! Well...the first 2 days in hospital hit me like a truck. But after that, totally fine!

You are going to do great and your journey will be wonderful and empowering.
