I've been a ball of emotions today. I'm so nervous and scared. I've been crying and everything. I'm sure it's normal but I hate feeling this way. My oldest is in the Navy and called today to wish me luck and I bawled. We are dropping off our other two to my mom's in a little bit. I know I will cry then. I'm a worrier and can't stop thinking of what could go wrong.

Valentina.. Thank you for the awesome, encouraging post!! I'm waiting for my insurance approval and then I will continue the next steps. I'm on here reading all the time and your words were so uplifting! Thank you again for using your journey to help someone else along..

I thank YOU for your words---on you first post. I am humbled that my words are able to help.

Believe me, friend, with very few exceptions, I have received far more support from the members on BP than I can ever repay.

I truly believe that not everyone's WLS journey is going to be "all sunshine and rainbows". My thinking is that if I can turn my journey around and be successful, I have a moral obligation to simply "pay it forward".

Thank you again for your kind words.

Tomorrow is my day as well! Good luck and blessings to you!

My prayers are with you. You will be fine. You must be a strong willed person just to make the decision to have sleeve surgery. Now you are so close, Stay strong.

I was a mess before surgery. I went to Tijuana on top of it all!!!! Very scary. It has beeen 10 months and it still has its emotional, scary moments. I had a hard recovery yet I would do it all over in a heartbeat. You will be fine...be positive, be happy....your new life really begins.

You will be fine....xoxoxox

P.S. The person that is complaining about pre op diet.......you have to embrace this change, as it is mind blowing after surgery if you don't do it now

Do not try to worry to much. Really it will be ok. Focus on your goal. And you will see. In time you will see this as the best thing you done for yourself too. ☺
