Omg It Just Became Real! This Is Happening.

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.

Yeah today seems to be my freak out day! I have been so calm, relaxed and excited. Today I think I will try to stay busy because I am just really worried about failing even with this. I am guessing I just need a "hug". HaJones and I will be walking the halls together so that is making me a little less nervous since I will be in the hospital with no hubby/friends/family staying with me. Lisa is my surgery buddy too :) Surgery at 935am 26 Nov. Not worried anything will happen just the unknown and failing ...I think.

You will be fine :). You can use that energy to come clean my house lol...all I want to do is sleep. At least ive lost 12 lbs. I am going to finish painting trim and ceilings before surgery and work ahead a week in my classes. Those are my goals.

Jessi. I agree. Mines tomorrow and so afraid of failing. I'm scared but this board has helped me sooo much. I know what can happen and so much info the dr don't tell you. Thanks all!!

Good luck!!! We will be praying everything goes well and let us all know how you make out when you can! :)

Best few luck worm! Cant wait to hear and see your success!

Don't let the nerves get u. Remember your doing this so you can really start living and so u can truly be happy with who u are. Not sure who u believe but pray God will keep u through this.

You can do this & it will all be fine.

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!!!

Im so glad Im not alone feeling scared. It just got so real this week.

My surgery is the 20th just afew days away. And all I think is can I do this and scared that I will fail. Thank goodness for support from friends and family and my husband. Glad to have found this site!

Mine is tomorrow too, I feel exactly the same as you, I sometimes feel destined to be obese and wonder if This won't work either.. I hope how soon I feel more optimistic. I have been preparing for this since January

How are you? I got home today. Sore and tired. Little scared to drink too m uch.

I am on Tuesday 27th. I am so hungry. My head hurts! I am focusing on that instead freaking. I know this is the right decision. My husband is sitting beside me eating Oreo ice cream and apple pie. I don't want it at all. I just feel empty.

I came home Thanksgiving day, very sore and a lot of left sided pain, it is hard to know when u are drinking too much. I am having a hard time determining when my pouch is full or if it just the swelling from surgery. Good luck!
