Counting down the hours...surgery is tomorrow!!!

Well...the time has come and now I'm getting scared. I have to be at the hospital tomorrow at 11:30 am for my 1:30 pm surgery. I can't believe that it's here...on one hand I'm excited (Optifast for the past two weeks has been horrible), and on the other hand I'm terrified. Lots of emotions going through me right now. What have I done to myself to make me get to this point? Why do I need a band around my stomach so I can lose weight...why can't I do it myself? Will I be able to do it with the band? Hopefully after all of this is done and I'm working with the band I'll feel better about all of this. Did you guys feel this way too? Any advice for me? You guys are all so great and have done a wonderful job with your weight loss. If I can do as great as you, I will know that I have made the right decision. Thanks guys!!!

Good luck!! My surgery is also scheduled for tomorrow. I have to be in houston at 7:00 for my 9:30 surgery. Very very nervous. I have had all the same thoughts that you have so you are not alone. Everything will go great for both of us. Let us know how everything went. :clap2:

Good luck to both of you!!!!:)

I felt very wierd the day before my surgery. It was almost like an out of body experience, just seemed so real. On the day itself I felt very relaxed about it all. At that point I knew I was making the right decision!:) My poor husband was much more nervous than me.
