Omg It Just Became Real! This Is Happening.

[Miris 32]

Gastric Bypass - Scheduled for November 26.

I have been preparing for this since August. Everything has been happening so fast for me. I've been calm through out the entire process.

I've done my research, read and asked a million questions. I'm both physically and mentally prepared. I had an appointment on Oct 24 that's when I was given my surgery date. I was excited but ok.

Buuuuut today... oh today! Today s***t got REAL! LoL

I had my last appointment wiflth my surgeon... I was ok.. we talked about everything. He looked thrum my Vitamins and all was good.

Then he said: Ok we are all set. Next time I see you it'll be right before surgery.

The moment I was in my car I couldn't stop crying. What is happening to me?

All of a sudden I am nervous, scared and having second thoughts. Am I ready for this? Am I capable of doing this? Can I do this? Am I making the right choice!

I'm so emotional. Can't stop crying.

Your emotions are all over the place and they probably will be for a couple of days. And then a calmness will come and that is when you will know you have made a very good decision. Just remember all the reasons you wanted to have the surgery, remember all the things you want to GAIN as you LOSE the extra weight. Do something special for yourself if you can, go to a movie, finish a craft project Go get a mani/pedi. This is real and I know it is hitting you hard. But we are here for you and we are going to help you get through this. Big Hugs

I went thru the exact same emotions after my appt with my surgeon yesterday!!! I called my husband and where I should have been jumping up and down excited all I wanted to do was cry! He was worried something had changed or been delayed because I was so upset..lol! I am sure it was reality sinking in for me. I do not see my surgeon again until the day of surgery and I am nervous and scared but I have continued to remind myself of the reasons why I started this and it helps to lessen the fear and put my goals back in prospective. I am sure you will do great the people here are pretty awesome and very supportive. Good luck to you!!!

Amazing met with my surgeon today and had the very same response. All I want to do is pull the covers over my head and cry...someone tell me this is going to get better plz

[Miris 32]

I'm so relieved to know I'm not the only one. I'm still a nervous wreck lil but I feel better! Thank you everyone!!!!,

[thisshizzisbananas 97]

Haha! It's soo funny (and reassuring) reading everyone's reactions! I had my last appt before surgery on Tuesdays and no one else understood when I said "I am sh*tting my pants right now!" Lol. I felt so excited and so scared at the same time, which resulted in a doe in the headlights look. I was stunned is all I can say.

Awwee!! It will get better!! I think this whole process is going to be one big emotional roller coaster! Sometimes you'll have to put your hands over you're eyes and wait out the fear and other times you'll be putting your arms in the air screaming "whhooohooo"! Lol. I'm just praying it's more whhooohooo for me and less eye covering!

[thisshizzisbananas 97]

I'll be praying the same for all of you!!
