Nerves are kicking in

Tomorrow is the day, I have to call at 1 to find out what time I have to be there at. I'm so nervous, been second guessing myself on going through with it. I've come such a long journey so far with all the pre op stuff I know I can't quit.

I keep thinking about my kids if something goes wrong, being a single mom with only my mom who I take care of is around for them.

My dr has great stats, I've asked. No deaths, no one has had a leak. So I know I should be ok.

Maybe it's just my fear of a different life afterwards.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has had crazy thoughts.

So yes, I was doing the same thing only now I think it was the best decision of my life

I'm two days post-op and I was thinking the same thing before my surgery. Honestly, I still have concerns like maybe I over corrected! I began the process back in July 2015 and I know I was prepared for it. I think my feelings now are just the fear of this new way of life. I've been battling my weight since I can remember and TBH, I just got used to the battle and was comfortable in that place. I'm prepared to do what needs to be done based solely on the faith that it has worked for and changed so many lives!
