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....

July 18th here! I was talking to my personal trainer yesterday and he was genuinely shocked when I told him that my surgery was in 23 days. He said, "It was 2 months ago last time we talked about it!" Time really does fly.

July 12th is when I'll be sleeved! So excited but nervous at the same time.

Mine is july 10 and i have the same things on my mind with my yrd ond 6 months

I just went for my first consult yesterday and I am scheduled for surgery on July 31! I'm so excited. The only thing I am worried about is lab on July 11, my h1c has to be a 8 or below. I was diagnosed Type II in May and it was a 10. But since then I've lost 20 pounds and so my doctor counted that as my pre-op weight loss. YEAH!!

My surgery date is for July 7th. I'm on day 3 of my pre-op diet and sooooo hungry at time, but OK at other times. I'm excited and scared at the same time.

I'm brand new to this site, just signed up today. Hopefully I'll get some great feedback on my journey to a healthier me.

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. I have only had to wait since the beginning of June since my insurance won't cover the surgery and I am self paying. I have gone through every emotion you just stated. The only thing I feel confident about is my decision to do this.

My surgery is tomorrow. A little nervous, but so ready for this change.

My surgery is on July 2 and I'm also really nervous and excited. My husband and I are doing this together and his surgery is on June 28. I'm glad we're doing this together so we can support each other.

I can now officially say instead of sometime in July it is JULY 25th!!! So flipping excited!

I'm having mine on July 5th... Next Thursday I'm scared and excited all at the same time!!

I am scheduled for July 2nd and I am scared...I just keep thinking...it will be o.k. I have not told any family members...only my husband knows...he is very supportive and I love him for that! I don't want to worry my mother because she has soooo many health issues and anyone else really doesn't matter...LOL

I have a July 11 surgery and totally understand. It's hard to think of anything else. I try to imagine all the good that can come from this - an opportunity to succeed where I haven't been able to in the past. As my daughter told me- "You're braver than you think you are." I have to think she's right!
