OMG Am I really going to do this?

OMG, I'm freaking out....I feel like my entire life is about to change. OMG OMG OMG.

Okay, Tonya, take a deep breath, breathe in, breathe out....okay, better now.

I just got a call from the docs office to officially schedule the surgery. I chose 1/18, so I'm scheduled for surgery on 1/18.

I have to have a Psych Eval on 1/2, I get an upper GI on 1/4, I have to pay my deposit on 1/4 for the surgery, I meet with the diatician on 1/8 at 2:00, I also have to have my pre-op consultation on 1/8 at 4:30. Everything is moving fast, I'm so nervous and excited at the same time. Its a weird feeling. I can't believe I am actually going to do this. I'm actually going to have surgery. I hope I am not making a huge mistake. I hope I can do this, I've been so pro-band for so long, now that it is actually here, I'm freaking out!

Okay, calm down, It will be okay, I can do this, yes I can.

Take several deep breaths! You'll be fine, I promise. I am very excited for you, and hope to join you in "band land" in Janaury!

LOL!~ Girl, you are not alone! I feel exactly the same way. Now that my date is 5 days away I am doing the same thing. Am I really doing this??? Freaking out! It is good to know that none of us are alone in these feelings. I am getting more excited than nervous as the date approaches. What a great New Year's gift. This may be the first year we can keep our resolution to get fit!!! Best wishes.

Thanks girls, I know that Freaking out is a common feeling that pre-banding experience. Its just the weirdest feeling, I'm as nervous as can be and one part of me wants to back out, yet the other part of me is jumping with joy.
