September 15th is my date

I am really nervous and excited at the same time. I am travelling to Florida from Michigan to have my Sleeve done at the Cleveland Clinic. I know I am in great hands but still am worried about the worst possible outcomes. I know all of the stats and I am in relatively good health despite the weight, so I know intellectually i have little to be concerned with. Thanks for taking the time to read and would appreciate any feed back. Michael F

Michael, Good luck to you. Although we all worry about the things that go wrong, it is important to remember that the vast majority of surgeries go totally as planned. Cleveland Clinic is a good choice, and I'm sure you will be fine. I would guess the worst possible outcome would be that you remain exactly as you are after the surgery. It must be hard to go so far from home to have your surgery. I hope you have a planned support system for post surgery. I'm apprehensive too; I'm worried that I'll have the surgery, get off my meds, rule out diabetes, get rid of GERD, and not lose a single pound. I'm actually afraid of gaining weight after the surgery. See? We all have our head trash; it just varies in type. Again, good luck.

Hello Michael and congratulation on your date ... I think we all are worried about the possible outcomes but i try not to linger on that... I keep thinking of all the good that comes after and that helps me through the scary thoughts .. well take care and talk to you later ... Yvonne

Hello Michael and congratulations on your date...I think we all have these same feelings going on in our heads but our dates will be here before we know it and it will all be worth the wait. Good Luck with your journey. Theresa

Congratulations on your date! That is the same day as mine! I am also going through much of the same emotions that you are. Best of luck and keep us all updated on your sucess.
