When did everyone get nervous?

I'm 19 days from surgery day and everyone asked if I'm nervous, answer is I'm not. I look at my pics of how I look now and I get excited to have this done. Do you think my feelings will change and I'll get scared???

We are all different.

I'm not at the panic attack phase...but when reality sets in that the 29th (my op day) I get a bit scared.

I wonder if I'm doing the right thing, but quickly remember how despondent I feel after every failed diet. How miserable I am when I can't partake in any social occasions and how unhealthy I feel all the time. Not to mention how this weight exacerbates my conditions.

I guess more than anything else..."death"...I don't want to leave those I love so much.

Deep....lol

Good luck with your journey to the "losers bench"...

Keep me posted on how you are doing. We're pretty close in dates of surgery. I'm just excited to start on a new me. I'm sure once I get to the night before the surgery I'll for sure be anxious. Lol

I got scared the night before... I started thinking of all the what ifs and probably slept about 2hours. But it is and WILL BE all worth it. I am 5 weeks out now, and down 31lbs. I am having a wonderful experience so far. Wish u the best!

You may, or may not. I didn't get worried about the surgery at all. My only worry was that I might get turned down for approval. Once I was approved I worried about getting sick and not being able to have the surgery. It was all sort of surreal until I made it to the losing side. I looked forward to getting it done. :-)
