Think about all the things you have missed out on being obese? Health issues that have become serious. Things you used to do but can't anymore?

But, understand this IS surgery. It is a big deal. Being nervous is part of the process. Busy yourself with buying what you'll need on hand after you come home from surgery. Begin exercising in earnest, so you'll be used to it by the time you are recovered. Abdominal surgery is always better with a bit less weight and stronger muscles.

Read, read, read all you can about your surgery and how it may or may not effect your life.
