Are these anxieties before VSG to be expected?
Hi Jamie. You're just two weeks after mine. Well, for what it's worth I am happy to share and support you through this forum. I'm happy to hear that we are both getting it done so close to each other. We aren't alone on this journey! Best of luck to you.
hi phoenix17,
I am going through the same thing right now. my VSG is scheduled for 08/22/17 and i'm nervous and rethinking everything. which to me deep down is crazy because i worked so hard to get to this point and i need this but i keep thinking i can do this with out surgery but if that were the case i wouldn't be here at the moment. i am also struggling with the thought i have 2 daughters and am i making the right decision. i question this because my youngest said to me the other day that mommy you don't need to be skinny you are beautiful the way you are. That ha**** me hard because i feel am i being stereo-typical with skinny is beautiful not fat. i know i need this for variety of health issues and i have explained to my girls the reason i am doing the surgery. but i think that i am just getting the best of myself right now!

How'd your surgery go, Jd020409? I'm rethinking so much, too. I'm glad that it's normal or else I'd be going nuts right about now.
My VSG is scheduled for tomorrow at 7am so any pointers on recovery and/or mindset going into the ER appreciated! I am ready, but I am still nervous just like I was a month ago.
