Maybe panic is a better word than jitters. Surgery is Monday, Mexico self pay. I am wondering if I am crazy to proceed. Earlier today I felt completely resolute...now I am waffling all over the place. I'll have to live with this new stomach and all it involves for the next 25 years...this is so scary. I've researched this, am confident with the doc I've selected...so why am I losing my motivation on the brink? Did any of you go through this, and if so, did you regret the surgery later? Thanks for any advice...if having doubts should I cancel?

These posts were so helpful to me! I'm a week out and have been feeling as if I'm the only one going through these jitters. Thank you all for your posts! It's great to know I'm not the only one who has experienced doubts and fears.

You're not alone. My surgery is in 2 days (12/2) and I've been feeling the same way. I'm trying to remember I've felt like this with every surgery I've ever had from my c-section to my foot to my wisdom teeth, up until the moment I conked out on the table. Once I'm recovered I always look back and say, "see, you made it". I think our nerves prove that we understand that major surgery is a big deal, and yet we are still willing to do it to become happy, healthier versions of ourselves.
