I honestly have been floating all day because I'm in such shock that I've been approved, if you have seen my previous postings about BS/CA then you know why.

Needless to say, while I'm ecstatic about this, my nerves are on an all time high! I don't know what's come over me, I just suddenly feel nervous almost to a point where I want to back out. I'm asking myself "Are you SURE you want to do this???" Will I be another successful story? or will I fail? I am also afraid to tell my family (mom, dad, sisters) because I know they are against any wls as they live, GF, fat free, sugar free, vegetarian, lives....so they wonder why I cant as well. While my goal is to use this tool to eat better and get to a somewhat healthy weight, they don't get it.

Also I still haven't gotten down to the final weight my Surgeon set my goal for before surgery. I explained to them on today that I was concerned about that and felt that I needed more time before scheduling the surgery but I was assured that I am fine as long as I haven't gained weight, they wont turn me away on surgery day.

My date is set for June 16th, pre-op June 8th.

Has anyone felt like this before, prior to surgery?

I'm shaking as I typed this lol

Of course, it wouldn't be normal to not be nervous. As I have said before, I just put it in my head that this had to be done like having my gallbladder out. I didn't think of it as elective, I thought of it as a medical necessity and then I was not as nervous and did not even consider backing out. I am almost 10 months out and would do it all over again in a second. Good luck

Thanks for your response

as time goes on my feet are slowly landing back on the ground and I am feeling more calm, especially coming here and seeing success stories such as yours. Did you really loose 96lbs in 10 months? that's crazy and amazing!
