Totally understand now

Omg I got my surgery date and approval the other day. I'm scheduled for may 18th! I have read so many post where people went through ranges of emotions judt over the approval and I really didn't understand until it happened to me what the big deal was. I went from happy, overly excited, worried, crying from fear, back to happy, worryi ng about my kids if I should die, back to happy again all in about 3 minutes lol. This journey truely is a roller coaster of emotions... and I haven't even had the surgery yet! I can't wait until my fears are behind me and I am able to truely start living the life I knoe I'm meant to live!

Congratulations! I wish you a safe and speedy recovery!

Hi, I think the reality is that this is major surgery -- for me, 3 1/2 hours of surgery and a huge change to your innards! Feeling the way you are is a completely normal reaction to such a life changing event. I had surgery on April 21 and had almost exactly the same pre-op emotions. I re-did my will, wrote "read this after my death letters" to all my kids and wife, but also read the mortality rate for this surgery (very very low -- my clinic has never lost anyone!), and knew that I had tried all other options to lose weight, and this would dramatically extend my life span. You and all of us who have this surgery are very brave people!
