surgery is april 9th.

is it ok to be this nervous, bc im freaking out, at the dr. office did another test about how much I know about the surgery and happy to say I got a 100 but im still nervous.

I have all my shakes, Vitamins ready and have my stage 3 and 4 food list ready, going aound the 5th to buy everything.

been going for walks and doing hand weights and rereading my info book over and over and still nervous.

is this ok or whats wrong with me.

I feel good about all the research I have done but still cant say that I don't think of something going wrong or that after I wont know how to do the right thing for my new stomach,

I am afraid what if I back out at the last minute, it will everything fall into place. im ready, I even have my bag ready.

what do u all think.

Its ok to be nervous after all it will be life changing….and am sure u will be fine…don't stress it….be safe and good luck!!!

You will do great, and I hope it's normal to be nervous, mine is Tuesday the 1st and I am pacing floors. GL & keep us posted

pepper123, thanks

sandy1363, wow Tuesday, good luck I will have u in my prayers.

Girl, you don't even know how much your life is about to change. This is truly the best decision I have EVER made for myself.

I am finally ME again. I can do anything I want to do (and some things I never thought I could do). I can wear anything I want to wear (or I can wear nothing at all ). I am no longer self conscious about the way I look. I no longer worry about who I might run into. I no longer care if my hair and face are perfect and if I feel like running out in workout clothes, I do. I can buy a cookie or a frozen yogurt and eat it *in public* without feeling like that fatty everyone is staring at. I no longer think anyone is looking in my grocery cart judging me. I am FINALLY a normal sized person and actually bordering on being thin. WHAT UP!?!?!

Seriously, the best decision EVER.

wow what up.....I loved reading this because I can't wait to change my life I have felt the things you listed all my life and can't wait to feel free......

: )

I feel the same. My surgery is Friday. Started liquid diet today. My partner is doing it too for support (she weighs 102). Right now I'm getting a pedicure, as usual feeling self conscious. I feel everyone looking at me and thinking how fat I am. So I have my earphones in my ears listening to music. I too feel weird eating out.

We have all made the best decision to take our lives back. My eight year daughter is so excited for mommy to get healthy. She tells me all of her friends laugh at me when I pick her up from school.

I hope to lose 70 pounds. I weigh 202 now. I welcome this lifestyle change. I think of all the great things to come.

I'm a nervous wreck too. My surgery is in 8 hours. I'm afraid I'll back out right as they wheel me into the operating room. My entire family is opposed to it so between dealing with their fears and mine, I'm a mess. I have no advice for you, just that you are not alone. Good luck!

LipstickLady, wow so true.

Rebellious Butterfly, I feel the same.

karensdRN, I have to do only two days of liquid but im thinking of starting Monday making it a few days, ima try.

Mrs. Whatsit, good luck ur in my prayers.

Hey, worrying is normal. I was supposed to have my op last week and got as far as having general anaesthetic but when I woke up there had been a power cut so I'm rescheduled for 1st April. Anyway I just wanted to say I felt the same and still do but like others have said it's normal to worry but will be the best thing we ever do. Good luck and keep us posted. X

got the ekg done now they want a ultrasound of the heart so im waiting for the appt date. hopefully my surgery don't b cancel since its on the 9th.
