I'll be sleeving on 11/21! Yikes!

Surgery scheduler called me tonight (bless her for working late) and I'll be VSG'ing it at 8 am that day. After all this time, receiving that phone call was surreal. Afterwards I had a complete and total freak out. Is that normal?? I'm ready...but I'm scared out of my mind.

I go Monday to receive all of my after care instructions and diet then I'm ready. I've completed all of my pre-op. My plan for now is to find a therapist to work with me on my food issues as I go. A friend swore to me it was key to her keeping the weight off and also a life coach. Any other suggestions to help transition into a smoother and less stressful post op???

Congrats on getting your date!! I was super excited when I got the call to schedule my surgery but now I'm freaking out over it lol I have mine on the 18th so I'm just before you haha. I go to support meetings every Monday night which is wonderful to stay on track. Have you looked to see if there are any near you?

I attended some several years ago, but then opted out of surgery. This will be my first this time.
