Maybe pre surgery jitters but I'm freaking out. I don't want to make a mistake....this is permanent. And advice or anyone else have the same feelings?

I'm a weirdo and was totally calm the entire process.  You, however, are totally normal to be nervous and freaking out!  It's super common - you're making a really big decision here!  But keep your eyes on the prize and remind yourself of all the great benefits you'll get from surgery.  It'll be 100% totally worth it.  :D

Your feeling are normal!  I had them even though I had gone thru lap band surgery and removal surgery.  I fought for over a year to get the band out and approval for the sleeve and I still starting second guessing myself just before.

Just keep breathing and relax.  All will be well.  You will have to go thru some stuff and you may even think at some point what did I do.  But just like having a baby, it will all soon dim and you will be left with something wonderful.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

Totally normal.  This is a big change, and it's normal to be nervous/anxious.

Remember why you're doing this, and it maybe won't freak you out quite so much.

Best wishes!  :)

Yep, normal.  But stop thinking, "surgery," and start thinking, "awesome new life!"
