My surgery is the 21st of november. My fear is recovery, losing more weight, not being able to eat. Hoping I can go on an insulin pump with my condition. The members posts were all positive as could be and I feel a little better after ready. I am just nervous and is consuming me. The gathering place is sending me info on meditation before surgery and after. Thank you for your help. Hugs

Your fears and concerns are all very valid. I know I can come off as overly positive. I had surgery in July and am just so damn happy to be alive. But I was absolutely terrified before surgery. Of being diabetic, of losing weight and muscle, of never being able to eat foods I wanted again. I remember bursting into tears when they called me from the waiting room. Just so scared. But when you find a surgeon you trust and weigh the pros and cons and endure the surgery, and then find yourself being told you are cancer free...there's just no feeling like it.
