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.

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!!!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
