So I saw the doc, nutritionist and psych yesterday. Very overwhelming!! Crazy busy office. Seemed like nice people though. Got me right in. Made appointments for endoscopy, pulmonary and ultrasound. Today made appointment with cardiologist. Didn't realize I'd have to do all this before hand!!! But appointments are made. I think I figured out the schedule as far as pre-op medical clearance and pre-op appointment with doc goes. Hoping for July 16 date. Was feeling somewhat nervous today after a bad dream where noone approved the surgery and I was alone. Called a girlfriend and she came over and we chatted for some time. Decided I was doing what was best for me. Still want to do this. So I'm back to excited but still a little nervous too now!!!

Mood swings are normal anytime you are confronting a major life changing event...and also common post op with hormonal changes which may affect your mood.

The important point you addressed is that you are doing what you feel is best for you; your support system is extremely important, but at the end of the day, it is you who will have to do the work!

Best wishes as you navigate towards your surgery date!

Thank you. The best support is coming here. Hubby was more angry last night when we talked. He's very worried. Today he was better and I'm starting the diet now and making sure I can do the diet after.
