I still have roughly 60 days. I've been reading several post from people who said they were having doubts. I couldn't understand why they would doubt. I'm so ready for this. Then yesterday I was laying in bed thinking, "Wow ... only 60 days left until I start my two week liquid diet...Wait...why is my heart racing all of a sudden? Oh ... what am I doing? Do I really want to do this? OMG...I thought those people were crazy and here I am." I do want to have this surgery, but the closer it gets, the nervous feelings and doubt are creeping in. I do want this and I will go through with it, but WOW ... that was sure a wake up moment for me. I can now say that I understand.

I went through it as well. I even backed out on my first attempt to schedule a doc. appointment. I got lucky though. Once I decided to go through with it, I was scheduled and done within 3 weeks - start to finish. Don't know if I could have kept my nerve up for much longer. :-)

I know exactly what you mean! I am scheduled for September 7th and am super nervous. I know I really want this, but the fact that it is really going to happen is scary!

All the cool kids are doing it, you are not cool if you dont!

Just kidding, its natural to second guess all big decisions. Stick to what your guy is telling you (literally and figuratively) and you will be fine with your decision! Start preparing yourself now, start eating several very small meals/healthy Snacks a day, maybe every 2 hours, and you will be ready when the time comes. Best to get started now rather than indulging leading up to the pre-op diet and then cutting off cold turkey!

My surgery is in 20 days and I have been back and forth between "what the hell am I doing" and "it will be the best thing i'll ever do for myself. I think it's normal - now i'm just worried about the anxiety with the travel.

I am 2 weeks PO and had the exact same feelings as you did. This surgery is no joke and at this point I am still feeling a little like WTH did I do? I know the first 4-6 weeks are the hardest, I will reevaluate after that how I feel about the whole thing. Make sure you are ready to change your life. The early days are a breeze for some, and not so breezy for others. I am somewhere in between. I have lost 20lbs post op so far, but it is not easy! Not trying to scare anyone, rather go in with your eyes open. It has been comforting for me to know others had a tough start and ended up loving their new life.

If it makes you feel any better, post-op my only WTH did I do moment was the day after surgery when I was really thirsty bc my surgeon doesn't allow fluids until after the 24-hr leak test. After that it was smooth sailing. I think it's just normal jitters. always easier being on the other side. Just take one day at a time and try not to overthink it--I know that's easier said than done. Wishing you all the best!

I feel the same way. I go back and forth each day but I never doubt that I will go through with it. 15 days for me!!!
