I just scheduled my surgery for July 5th. I'm excited and honestly terrified. I've read everything, talked with other patients and prepared to the best of my abilities- but I can't shake the anxiety. I definitely want to " think twice- cut once" and when I write down the pros and cons... DS is it. Any words of wisdom on how to calm my mind in the time leading up to the surgery?

Just have trust in your decision and your surgeon. The rest will come :)

I was scared up until I was put under for the operation. I focused more on the Pro's
because the worst con's seem to be on a person by person basis and not generic to
DS'rs as a whole.

For me concentrating on the best chance to lose the most weight and keep it off afterwards.
Keeping it off was at the top of my list. I had been able to lose weight but could never
keep it off, always gaining back more than I lost. I knew I couldn't keep going the way I
was.

It's a scary, exciting decision and journey but for me it was well worth it. Congrats!!
