:smile: i am new here and i am getting my surgery on the 25th of Jan. 2010. i am scared a little and excited at the same time. Does anyone else know what i mean.

Yes, this is totally normal... I've been through lap band surgery before, a removal, and now this... I have felt both scared AND excited, each time. Here's to your sleeve!

Welcome Marie to VST! That is exactly how many of us feel before this surgery. Congratulations on your upcoming date. Good luck with your journey!

YES! I'm the 25th too. So far I'm just excited and haven't been scared yet, although visualizing the last few moments with my husband and son before they wheel me off to surgery causes some anxiety. I expect to get very little sleep the night before and to be very anxious the morning of... looking forward already to getting the happy drugs they put in the IV early on. :laugh0:

TOTALLY! I'm scheduled for the 27th so we'll be on the same track. Best of luck!

thank yall so much,wow i dont feel so alone now. I am still scared, and excited but I know i am not in this boat alone.

I am the 25th too! I am feeling very excited and the only thing I am nervous about is the post diet. I am positive that I will feel some anxiety that morning, but I fully intend to ask for some relaxing medicine beforehand!

I was sleeved on Jan. 14th and yes you are SO right. There are so many emotions that will go through you until you get on the operating table but it will be worth it!!

Hang in there girl. We're all rootin' for ya.

I'm on the 25th too. I am so excited but terrified at the same time myself so I know exactly where you are coming from. I never thought this day would come.
