I got the call that my file was sent over to the scheduler and that I should expect to here from her soon...GREAT NEWS RIGHT!...now all of the sudden I am scared as HELL! Wtf...I have been waiting for this day and now all of a sudden it feels so bittersweet. I am scared, nervous, happy, ecstatic all at once....IS THIS NORMAL???

Oh yeahhhhh. Everyone feels the same way, same feelings, same fears. But it's good... just part of the process !!! Congratulations.

Yup. Totally normal

completely, totally, absolutely normal. I remember thinking : how can I possibly be feeling all of these feelings at once?!?!?!

So, here you are! Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

I love your screen name --- go get 'em, tiger!

Thank u....everyone for the encouragement....and letting me kno that im not crazy for freakin out!

Freak day for me was one week pre-op. Just in time for my last pre-op Dr. visit. By surgery day I was fine, just ready to get 'er dune.... Must admit that Valium helped a lot on surgery day.

It's good to feel the different emotions. This surgery and life change is a big step. Just don't dwell on the bad ones.

I felt those emotions too don't worry its normal!
