Hello everyone. I am scheduled for bariatric surgery(the sleeve) on Dec 13th. (providing it doesnt get postponed due to covid). I am really nervous. Did anyone have any 2nd thoughts about going through with the surgery?

Welcome, Miss Violet. Everyone has some anxiety or second thoughts before surgery.
When I had my RYGB 14 years ago, it was major surgery. Now they do the same thing laparoscopically. It sounds like a root canal would've been more painful than that (and I've had both).
But the weight came off like a candle melting. I improved my diet and began taking nutritional supplements, vitamins and minerals. I started training at the YMCA so I could hike mountains. I had to buy a whole new wardrobe. I ended up dressed like this for the holidays a year later.
I'd do it over and over. I have no regrets and no restrictions.

Hello and Welcome! I absolutely had second thoughts! I was so scared I considered leaving after I got to the hospital lol However, I just kept reminding myself that I was doing it for my future and even if it wasn't easy it had to be done for my health. I cannot express how happy I am that I went through with it. I would do it again every day and twice on Sundays!
