I have been going through all the requirements for months and last week I got the okay from my insurance company and received a surgery date from my surgeon. So many emotions and feelings. Excited, anxious, frightened, happy, sad and all while being confident in my decision. Im not afraid of the discomfort or hard work ahead, but terrified of the worst case scenario's they keep telling me. Im a mother of two small children (2 and 4) and am so worried. I know everyone feels this way, but I don't want to back out from fear. Anyone else feeling like that or having surgery in July like me??? Would love to have some peeps to talk with along the way....

I am scheduled for July 24th and am keeping my mind occupied by getting all the info I can on the surgery and post op preparation. Good luck to everyone!

Are you scared? Sometimes I think I am crazy. The few people I have told are very supportive. They have seen me struggle with weight. My mother I thought would be against it. She is 83 years old. Much to my surprise, she was for it 100%. My friends were upset that I didn't ask them to go with me. My husband is skeptical but is going with me.

My surgery date is July 12th...16 more days..very excited.

Yes I will be sleeved on 7/16/12! Yay

I'm not scared at all just kinda concern about getting in the protein and water.

You are definitely not alone I go in July 18th & I am a mom too & thinking about the same thing I know everything will be fine

Mine is scheduled for July 3rd...happy independence day to all of us from being overweight!

Mine is next week n I am so nervous I can't sleep n I get the bg's everynight

No date but it will be JULY! Have never been more excited about anything in my entire life! Never had so much to look for and I am SO excited to get started with my new healthy life and body

My date is July 2 just a few days

And i'll be on the other side of this journey.

Im nervous scared as hell but not admitting it to anyone in my family and keep having the doctors anouncement of death being in the risk im taking. Im going thru your feelings exactly, im only 22 and docs keep pushing me towards rny but im standing my ground and acting like i'm cool ad the other side of the pillow so get your game face on and walk tall towards the beginning of your brand new life
