My surgery is on Tuesday morning. I've done little else but dream of this day for the past 6 months. I've done my research and I'm proud of myself for commiting to the prep program. But now as the day hangs near I am terri fied. I think about neing put under and sliced up and my heart begins racing. I'm a single mom and my 15 year old needs me in his life (ironically that is one of the reasons I chose the surgery- so that I can live a long healthy life.) I am not having second thoughts but the fear is overwhelming.

Byjenna.....I had my surgery on Monday. I too am a single parent of a 17 yr old son. I kept busy the day before. I organized my closet by sz. 2x, 1x, and what i previously called my wishful thinking clothes. Good Luck to you

I had my surgery on Tuesday, and I too am a single parent. I am home and feel great. I would have thought I would have been feeling more discomfort but from the moment I woke up, nothing. It is a second chance on life. Do not worry, you get thru this with flying colors, best of luck.

You will do fine. Just keep that end goal in sight! You can do it!

Your going to do great.
