I have decided to take the plunge and post after reading this great site for a few weeks! I was just wondering if anyone has had a hard time focusing since they got their surgery date? That might sound weird, but I'm a little over two weeks out and it's hard to get things done because I'm so preoccupied with this impending change! I'm excited and nervous, but I also feel like I should be able to get more done in my life outside of surgery. I have a big final on Monday (I'm finishing grad school) and I'm not as prepared as I should be. Anyone else having this issue?

That's normal because you are excited to become the new you congrats on your choice to be healthy.

I was nervous/excited/scared for a few days pre-op, but then I started pretending that it was just another day of the week and I didn't have surgery coming up. It worked for me! Right up till the wheeled me into the O.R. I woke up and asked, "Am I skinny yet?"

Yeah, I'm getting sleeved on Tuesday, and I'm a total dingbat right now. My checklists have checklists. :/
