So today is the big day for me, I’m scheduled surgery at 11:30 am. My nerves are a little crazy right now. I have all these mixed emotions going thru me, I’ve done plenty of research and know this is right for me but I’m still a little scared. Yet I try to remember this is only for my own benefit and for a healthier me. I assumed when the big day got here I would have been excited and happy and not have so many mixed feelings. Anyone else experience this?

The most important thing!

It's for you and your better future life.

Did anyone else experience this? Yes! MANY of us did! You are not alone. Good luck! See you over on the POST-Operation forum.

I sure did. I was in preop and started crying and told my mom amd daughter thst I wanted to leave. My mom calmly reminded me of the road I traveled to get there. And asked me to think how I would feel if I backed out now. Would I be happy. That was a dine deal. Before you know it, I was out of bed amd recovering. I have not looked back since. Meet you on the losers bench.

I think anyone going through any surgery has mixed emotions. As you can see in the forums the vast majority who had the surgery don't regret it.

hope you are doing well and recovering nicely!
