I cannot believe the has come for my surgery. I had a failed lap band in 5/05 and removed 12/12. Wednesday is the big day for VSG. My only concerns are excess skin and social eating. I know that I can have the excess skin removed which would probably just be a tummy tuck. As far as a social eating I worry about going out on dates and probably having to share that I've had weight-loss surgery with the fact that I'll be eating so little. I know I need to do this since I have a long list of medical conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc... So I have the presurgical jitters I'm hoping that all will go well I know that everything is in the Lords hand I just hope and pray that nothing goes wrong and I feel good about my choice I'm just nervous

Just breathe and tell yourself that everything is all about to be a downhill roll. You got this!

I'm happy to tell you that you're perfectly...normal! If you didn't have pre-surgery jitters then I'd be concerned.

Take one day at a time and you'll be just fine. I'll admit the social eating was a concern for me as well. I'm in medical sales and it seems like that's all we do sometimes, but you'll figure out what works for you. Soups and high Protein appetizers are awesome. And the further out you get the more you can eat...just learn to make healthy choices early on. Good luck and I'll say a prayer for you. Keep us posted!

Thanks for your kind words and advice. I work in the medical field myself. So easy to eat badly when your in a rush but your ideas are just great. Thanks again.
