I just got a call a few minutes ago that I will have the funds to get my surgery which is great! I plan on calling and scheduling with Dr. Aceves tomorrow. I was so excited and then all the sudden I just got a bad feeling like this is real. I could die. I could leave my babies. Did any of you have these feelings?

Absolutely, positively, yes ... I think we all experience it at some point. Some, more than others, but we did face our mortality when deciding on this surgery.

But once my emotions settled down, I thought about all the pros and cons. The PROS so outnumbered the CONS tha I knew I had to do it. Especially FOR my family!

You are ready to get on board a very emotional roller coaster. Try to focus on the positive of having your money. And, come out here for emotional support. You can do this!

I think its really normal. I toyed with the idea for a bit... thought I would get the band becaue of the reversability...then learned about the band complications and settled on VSG. That night I had horrible nightmares about my stomach being cut out of my body in the most gruesome fashion.

I wouldnt trade it for the world now.... but yes... I had some trepedation.

Nerves and second thoughts before any type of surgery is perfectly normal. You will go through a whole roller coaster of emotions. However, I can assure you that you are in the best possible care with Dr. Aceves!

I have had 18 major surgeries throughout my lifetime and the WLS was the latest one, with each one i had bad feelings, it's a normal thing. . but i have always put my trust into the physician and his skill and also in the higher power. . if its my time to go, then so be it, but if not, then i'd be back before you know it. . . guess what, i'm here writing this to help you . . . nerves are normal, and could you leave your babies?????? Could you? Could you not go through with the surgery, remain overweight, have a heart attack or stroke and leave your babies????? could you???? it's an interesting concept? But anything can kill us, either today, tomorrow, next year, or 100 years from now. . . we are all born to die, but today and in surgery may not be the time. . . you're going to be ok, we all went through this and we are here writing our stories. . . you'll do great!

Thanks for your replies. After talking in chat last night and reading more of the boards I feel a ton better and so excited. I have been on the phone for the last 5 hours talking with Nina, my Mom, my Aunt, and friends. I'm SO very excited! I have a list (I love lists) of things I need to do to get ready for surgery. I'm shooting for the 8th of October so I have time to get my passport and hubby has time to get off work. I'm gonna be THIN! <geek squeal>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
