Did anyone else get cold feet right before the surgery?
I'm having a sleeve on Monday and I am starting to get nervous. I have been following my diet very well but I haven't lost any weight. I think it may be due to my RA and very limited activity level. I'm scared the Dr. is gonna be upset at me but I haven't cheated or anything. Worried, worried!
Any advice?

I only lost 10 lbs but that was because I had full liquid diet a week before surgery. Keep following your doctors plan and you should be fine. :) My doctor never told me I HAD to lose weight before surgery he said the diet was to shrink the liver before surgery so that it isn't in the way makes the surgery even more safe. Good luck to you and if you are follwong doctors orders try not to worry. You should be fine, but if you are worried give them a call and ask (no questions are dumb questions when it comes to this.) Take care and let me know how you do :)
I got cold feet the day of surgery lol. Right before my surgeon came in to get me, I got this panicky feeling to rip my IV out of my hand and run out to make a dash for the nearest pizza parlor in my hospital gown. I had my mom there with me, and she reminded me to remember why I'm doing all of this. and that was enough for me. I did my sleeve for many reasons I suppose, but the most important for my son. I wasn't going to live to be much of a mom for him if I had a stroke or something and couldn't move much. My life wasn't a life anymore. It was death walking. I didn't want to leave my son to fend for himself in this world.. life isn't the same without your mother. That pushed me and gave me strength where I did not have it.
Just breathe and it's going to be ok. Nothing is going to beat the awesome feeling of having your life back. And the discomfort is a temporary thing.
