It's getting closer and closer to 2/13. I remember when I first started posting it felt like a lifetime away. I am getting very nervous. Anyone else nervous?

I am trying to just to stay calm. I know this is the right life tool choice for me.

Totally get it! I had a panic attack the other night. Couldn't sleep.

Yep I'm the same. I see people who keep saying they're excited like they're going to disney....I can't even comprehend that. I'm at the point where I'm just questioning whether or not I think I can do this. I'm looking at a lot of my life and thinking just how is this going to work?

Juny , what is your biggest fear is it the lifestyle change or the actual surgery itself? I cannot offer any sage wisdom because I myself am pre-op But I can do all the things I need to do post surgery in a snap, I am just having a hard time with actually going under. I have all the confidence in te world in my Dr but I just fear the unknown and HATE being conscious. SCARY!

Maybe some others can talku down and make you feel better about it. I know they have for me.

Hi, go to the topic SCARED OFF AND ON.....HELP.

I too was scared, you will find mine and many other posts regarding just what you are feeling. Hang in there

For me it's the lifestyle change I think, at least in the short term. I'm worried about everything from constipation/diarrhea and how to have lunch w/ my colleagues to serious complications and what if I make a mistake choosing this surgery.

Mostly I'm resolved....But I've had a lot of time just waiting for the surgery date so a lot of doubt and worry has crept in.

For me it's the surgery in general and anesthesia specifically. I have an anesthesia phobia.

I think it would be odd not to be nervous! I'm 2 days before you so will try to post my experience for you. I'm heading down to the Marriott the night before and I already asked if its okay to take Ambien the night before - yes, thank goodness!

I think it helps that the next three weeks are really busy for me. It will be here before we know it!

Feb 15.....its all I dream about, think about.....
