Finally got my date; and already want to run!

After 2 years of waiting and prepping....I finally get my date of surgery! I was confident, I was prepared....until the moment I got the call from the surgeons office! Now I feel nauseous...nervous...dont want to eat...I just want to cry! To make matters worse, anger is now kicking in...im angry at myself for having to result to this! Cmon now....I worked so hard to get here and now I want to call it quits!? I dont know whats wrong with me....wth!? Not sure if im just nervous....but this feeling sucks! This is what I have been waiting for, and now not so sure! Has anyone been through this? If so...how did you cope with it?

So glad you have all shared your feeling!! I thought I was all alone!! My surgey date is Dec. 30, 2014. I am beyond anxious, but excited for the outcome. I have spent the last 19 years yo-yo dieting with short term sucess. I am so ready to have my "life" back. Many times I have looked the mirror and wondered whose reflection I was seeing. I felt trapped in my own body. The physical person I saw was not the person I was on the inside. Can anyone relate?

How are you feeling?

I could've wrote this! I don't know how I'm coping, not well really. I have anxiety normally so this is putting it off the charts. I'm scheduled for 10/3 and I'm freaking out. But the more I read here the better I feel. Lots of people have great outcomes and I want that for me too. We will do ok, I figure as long as the pain meds keep my pain manageable and keep my nausea under control I'll be ok. I'm not quite as worried about the eating part after. I just want to survive the surgery. When is your date?

How are you doing?
