Kind of surreal feeling..

So, my surgery is all set for tomorrow. Everything is done, my bag is packed, my mom took off work, my time is scheduled, I've been on the pre-op liquid diet but as I sit here in bed with my tummy grumbling I can't help but feel that this is all some sort of dream. It's weird, I just can't wrap my head around my whole new life starting tomorrow. I'm excited as all heck but it just doesn't seem like its really soaked in yet. I still feel like something is going to go wrong even though throughout this whole process everything has been picture perfect. Am I crazy? Do other people feel this way?

Just breath, it'll all be great. Good luck!

I felt the exact same way, only not much excitement. It is really a testament to how this really IS major surgery. But fortunately serious complications are rare and vsg is becoming a well established procedure. Just baby yourself and trust your doctors and nurses. It will go by so fast!!!

It is a dream...come true! I wish you a speedy recovery and much success! I look forward to reading about your fantastic progress along the way (and will join in soon--save a spot on the losers' bench for me!).

Good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to here how you are doing! I'm sure everything will be just fine, and it sounds like you are having very normal feelings about such a big change.

Good luck to you! Keep us posted on. Your progress.

Just wait until you wake up in recovery and get into your cozy hospital bed (which, btw, you should not stay in much because you need to walk, walk walk)! Now THAT is a surreal feeling, but also a type of rebirth. It is an amazing time to really study your life and the opportunity to make it over into something new. Very cool thing.
