I just scheduled my surgery for April 29 and i have gotten so nervous. Its not that I am having second thoughts, but i still wish there was another way. Is this normal? I am getting so nervous about it.

My surgery is the 17th I am nervous too, I think it's completely normal! I am on a two week liquid fast and down 15 pounds it already feels good it will only get better!

Durante76 I hope and pray you have a very successful and have no complications with your surgery!

It is so normal!! Best of wishes to you both!!

I just got my date too - and we're the same day! Everyone says it's normal to have second thoughts around now, and a woman in my support group who was scheduled for four days out was saying the exact same thing the other night. I imagine it's a healthy fear survival instinct thing causing us to check and recheck that we've made an informed choice, and even though it feel scary a bit to me, I'm feeling sure and wanting this anyway! Maybe reread some of the reasons you wanted it, and the research that lead you to it? Hope you get to a place of peace with it. I'll hold a good thought for you as you sort through it all.

Yes I believe it's normal, I know I just scheduled mine for 4-23 and instantly fear set in..smh. I know it will be ok but it's still a scary thing to go thru...

Congrats to you! Feel a awesome...I know.

We'll just have to be scared AND courageous together, eh?! Helpful to read the way you put it, about the onset of the fear being when you got it scheduled. That's the moment I had a sense of "Gasp!" and now it's fine for the most part. It's sort of the biggest step next to the actual surgery I think.

Kate yes we will! Surgery date buddies! I know it's going to be wonderful but it is also terrifying!

KeeWee congrats on your date! I know it is scary but it is so scary!!!

Thank you, same to you!!! I wish us all very healthy procedures!!! I can not wait to read about your success story!!!
