Pre surgery jitters

I'm less than a week away from my surgery and I'm excited! I do have to say that I'm disappointed the my "best friend" is not supportive at all.

She was upset and afraid when she thought I was having gastric bypass but was relieved when I told her I was doing the lap band. She seemed supportive after that but recently she has pulled away a great deal. I've asked her if she wanted to work out together when our kids are in school and she said no she would rather do it first thing in the am. However she and another girl in our neighborhood have been working out together when the kids are at school.

I know how that must make u feel, I told my best friend when I get this done I hope she doesn't change towards me.. She said she wouldn't but u never know.. I don't think she realizes what I'm going to do or she know but until it happens I'm still me. Hopefully she won't change cause I'm still going to be the same.

You'll be fine, I went through all sorts of emotions before surgery, now I am so glad I did it. It is hard when those closest to you don't support you, I had problems with my daughters but my guy friend was super supportive so his support made up for the lack of support I got from family.
