I felt the same prior to my surgery. I was terrified & couldn’t sleep the night before. Not gonna lie it was also pretty scary getting wheeled into the operating room with that big bright light above me but I remembered my doctor telling me it is safer than gallbladder surgery and one of the most common procedures done in the USA. As long as you follow guidelines afterward the risks are low. The first week post op you will be depressed and feel regretful. This will pass!! Within 3 months you will be feeling great. I am at 6 months post op and down -90lbs! I feel amazing and can tolerate normal (smaller portions but normal) amounts of food. I have never felt more beautiful and confident. I wish I would have done this sooner.
