My surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday, 3/6. I have my preop visits today with the doctor and the hospital today.

OMG!! This makes it so real and makes me so nervous. The closer it gets the more my stomach knots up.

I know I have to do this but I wish I didn't. I walk around pretending to have all the confidence in the world that I am doing the right thing, but inside I have doubts that I"m trying my darndest to ignore. I just keep telling myself, I am miserable at my current weight and have not been able to do anything about it and this is my last resort. I just want to be a normal weight and not feel miserable.

Sorry if I'm rambling but that's what going on in my mind. The mind rambling get worse each day as I get closer to THE day.

I have very mixed emotions.....can't wait to be skinny but nervous as all get out.

Congrats! i have my appt tomorrow to set up my surgery date. I have very mixed emotions as well... Just want to be healthy and have confidence!

I have my pre-op on Friday. I too am very nervous, and excited at the same time. I am so ready, or am I?

I kind of wonder the same thing. Like i know i NEED this and i want it but food has always been my comfort... Hard to change that

OMG I agree with all post above. My last visit with bPCP and Dietician is Monday March 5th. I'm nervous and excited. I feel like I am at peace with my decision to do this but yet I find myself thinking about what I'm about to do and having self talk and doubting my decision mainly due to fear of surgery and the "what ifs." I remember my consultation appointment and the time since then seems to have moved at the speed of light. Am I ready to do this? Lord, the mixed emotions are crazy and sometimes I feel paralyzed with fear. I walk around smiling and displaying the confidence that everything will be ok but at the end of the day when it's quiet and i'm alone with my thoughts and nothing to distract me the nerves really take over....

My surgery date is Monday, 3/5 and I understand all the mixed feelings. I think of it like this...The level of nervousness does not even compare to the level of excitement and happiness I feel about finally getting my weight and health under control...I'm so gonna rock my sleeve...and so are you!!!!!
