I am having surgery 10/21 and would love to know if anyone else is as well. This is my 3rd time scheduling and the last 2 were cancelled due to illness. NOT THIS TIME! I am feeling lots of emotions but mostly really excited!

I am getting banded on the 21st. I am so nervous. I have changed my mind several times!!!!! But I guess I have to go through with it. I am most concerened with how my life will change afterwards. I love to cook for my family. What if I have no desire to cook anymore. UGG. I am also a low bmi 37. What I It takes me 5 years to lose 60 pounds. I will be very upset....

The 1st time I was scheduled I felt like I had multiple personalities I was so all over the place. "This is going to be great..what in the h*&! am I doing...you know you cant do this on your own....why in the h!@* can't I do this on my own?!"

Now I am decided and know it is the right thing for me. My only fear (although a big one) is not waking up. Once I wake up I know I can do this.

I understand the mixed feelings though. I had my pre-op appt with the surgery center yesterday and have to admit to feeling a little sad. I felt sad that I really was admitting to myself I could not do it on my own. Really admitting it for the last time. So I let that stew a little in my head and moved on. Now I am feeling great thinking of the life ahead of me!

I also worry what if I take forever to loose. The reality- I could be down just ? pounds in a year or up. I know I will keep gaining.

I am feeling 90% excited and happy and 10% the other stuff.

I would love to keep an eye on each other to see how we are doing!
