One moment I'm excited the next I'm scared ...... I'm like what am I getting into! Is this normal??

Yes it is very normal. It's the sense of change that makes you feel this way.

100% normal

Thanks I feel better!

I feel exactly the same way...these past few months have flown by & now it seems like the time until my surgery is both moving too fast and too slow! Very weird feeling.

It's normal.... I promise you those feelings will disappear when you are on the other side.

this is exactly how I feel!

As you can see, VERY normal. We've all been there, and go back & forth often.

It'll be an interesting journey, but you know what, also very worth while

This is normal, you are ready to change your life in a big way. And being excited about your journey is half the fun.

You'll do great as long as you follow Drs orders.

Best wishes to you!

I was doing alright until another poster (with good intentions) wrote to me this week and ended with a statement "now don't get discouraged if you don't get approved for the surgery the first time".

I had never considered I would not be approved! This was like a blow to my heart! Both my doctor and my surgeon are very confident there will not be a problem with approval, however I realized my feelings are pretty fragile right now. I was not aware of just how much I want and need this surgery until a doubt was raised.

It gives me hope. Hope I've not had in a long, long time.

What people need to learn is listen to your surgical team, not someone from this forum. We can give opinions & advice but when it comes down to it, it's your Dr and staff you need to listen to.

Best Wishes on your journey!

Thanks everyone I need to stop listening to negative people

Me also, I get really excited, butterflies the lot when I think it will only be a few weeks away...then a twang of fear creeps in! I suppose I am more worried about waking up in pain afterwards, also the fact I have told no-one so worried about coping alone, i really dont want to make silly mistakes!!! :-)
