Surgery date coming up and im freaking out! LOL

Hello everyone! I am new to these forums and thought I would share some of the craziness going on in my head! I am scheduled for a RNY on Nov. 30th.

I am constantly future tripping about sagging skin already! I know im getting this surgery to get healthy and be able to have a baby and start a family with my husband. But all this craziness is swirling in my head even when I am asleep!

I keep having dreams of dropping lots of weight and being all saggy and scary looking. My family and doctor have told me its normal to think about the future and kind of panic about it. I hope im not the only one lol.

But on the other hand im SUPER excited to start my new life, I can barely contain myself. Im 25 years old and have been married for 5 yrs and I feel bad telling my husband I do not feel like I have lived my life at all yet! When we married I weighed 250lbs and five years later my highest weight was 392! I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe that I let myself get so heavy.  I have always been overweight but you know its bad when you dream about fitting into your size 24/22 clothes again LOL! I barely fit into size 32 jeans :(

I know this post is kind of all over the place but besides my husband I really don't have anyone to "vent" to

I am completely happy with my decision to have the surgery and like I said am uber excited! ne suggestions on how to keep my head from being so crazy? LOL 

All I have to say is I feel ya! I am having my surgery in a month and a lot of body issues are coming up like saggy skin and looking worse than I do now (which can't be possible) Just remember that you are young so that is a plus with sagging skin. Just breathe and remember that you are getting healthy and this is the first step towards a healthy new life.

We're in this together sister!

I feel the same way. I'm having surgery the week after you. I keep asking me husband if he's still gonna love me when I'm all saggy and my boobs deflate. He swears he will :) But I keep telling myself I'm doing it to be healthier and so we can have a baby.

That is TOO funny cause I ask my husband the same thing and he always says to me "are you going to love ME when you are all skinny and guys are chasing after you" HAHA what a nerd! I just want to have a baby with the man you know? lol Good luck with your surgery and keep us posted! I had my Pre-Admission appt over the phone this morning so im in super excited mode.

Found out I have to pay a 100 co pay cause I didn't reach my out of pocket maximum today but that is NOTHING compared to what im getting in return right? ;P

Now I just wait for my check in time and we are golden.. haha Thanksgiving is the day before I start a 3 day liquid diet before surgery..muahaha thanksgiving..mmm lol j/k

Hope everyone is having a happy monday!

I'm having my RNY on 12/3 and I have the same thoughts.  I can't sleep, I think about it at work, and when I do sleep I have dreams about what I'm going to look like.  I start my liquid diet on Thanksgiving and I can't wait until next Thursday when I have this procedure and get to start the rest of my life.

You know you have to remember first thing that everyone's journey is different and this one is yours.  No one knows wether they will have saggy skin or not.  There are 1000 different things that factor into it from how you carry your weight to how long you have been overweight.  Also age is a HUGE factor (hint we are in our 20's LOL).  So instead of worring about the what if just relax and enjoy the new adventure.  Having said all of that my biggest fear is that I will lose A TON of hair.  I am alreay on a med for RA that makes my hair fall out so it is thin now so I can't afford to lose a ton.  I have dreams where it starts to fall out in handfulls.  So if it isn't one thing it will be another.  Pretty soon you are going to be so busy losing weight that it will only be a little nagging thought in the back of your head, Promise!!!!  Good luck, you will do great!!!!

we ALL went through all those thoughts.......

your human.......

just remember that its all gunna be worth it........
your gunna be beautiful................

good luck girl.......

i cant wait to watch you on your journey............
