Ok to be scared?

Hi all! I'm less than a week from surgery(jan 28) and I'm starting to get nervous. This has been a two year journey and finally it's here! I'm excited but scared! Anyone else feel or felt like this?

oh heck yeah

i was like is this for real?? can i actually do this??

but i was more excited/happy than scared.

i was about to change my life and get it back..

its the right decision...go into this with all you got.

Definately! I could've written that 2 months ago when I was banded (nov 28). I guess it's the fear of the unknown. I can honestly say that it's full steam ahead for me. You have an exciting new life ahead of you, enjoy the journey.

I just wrote a quote on my Facebook that said..."A good goal should SCARE you a little and EXCITE you alot." This is my mantra for my surgery that is scheduled for Feb 7th!! Good luck!

Spaness, I LOVE that quote, totally stealing. Thank you. LOL.

asr2468, Yes, when I was banded I was scared out of my mind. But I could no longer live the way I was living and be happy. I was so off track with my life it wasn't funny. For me, getting the band was the only way I wanted to keep on living.

I am becoming more nervous by the day! I am scheduled for 1/31 and I can't believe I am taking this step. I am so nervous I won't succeed because I have failed every other diet, but the doctor and everyone at the support group has been great.

Scared + Nervous = NORMAL! You will do great. We all felt that way, but I have never regretted the decision!
