thinking about changing my date

Weii i am going through so much everything and everyone seems to piss me off. i should be happy celebrating i am weeks from my surgery date 1-28-09. i have not smoked in two weeks(on the patch) and i know that might have alot to do with my being sooo touchie. I think i am going to push my date back at least a week. i may need some med. because i am too emotional i either want to bite your head off or cry a river no in between. i have read almost every blog. and i havent found anyone with these type of issues. just a couple of dys ago i was so happy so excited. :tounge_smile:

If you do a search in the Forum Pre-Op you'll find lots of people get emotional and very nervous right before surgery...It's a major life-changing event, and yea, we want it to be, but it's also scary to make the change. Maybe you need to talk to someone to see if your ready to handle all this change? Best wishes!

I think everything you are going thru is normal. This is a life changing decision. This is where it all starts. I bet you are nervous about surgery and scared it won't work. Will who you are and how you feel change? Will how everyone sees you change? Will they treat you different?

Congrats on stopping smoking! That is tough. I know. I am an ex-smoker. If you think that you need to push your date back then by all means do what is right for you. If you think that everything will change in that time and it won't be an emotional and very tough journey then think again.

Good luck! I hope everthing works out great for you!
