Psychology evaluation tomorrow @1pm . I’m slowly getting there. Every step count

Excellent!! For me, it seemed like once I finished all my pre-op appointments, I started getting nervous like things were happening so fast. You'll be on that gurney before you know it, girl!!

@logicwand so days I’m so excited and some days I’m really nervous and I think about it constantly. I really need this change to help put me back on track . The odd part of it is I can’t really tell my family because everyone has their opinion. Only my husband and 2 close friends know .

I hear you. I had a panic attack the week before surgery. I definitely let things get to my head though. I kept thinking I'd rip the IV out of my arm once I was at the hospital in the pre-op room. LOL But, once I did get there, I stayed on that gurney. But I cried. So this is what it has come to, I thought. And then I thought, yeah, it has. Now get in that surgery room and get this taken care of so you can finally enjoy your life. I think the crying was therapeutic. It was like I was mourning the loss of my stomach before I'd go under. A subconscious farewell to my old way of life and it was sad. But every book has chapters, and I was ready to start a new one. You have your reasons for choosing surgery. Just keep thinking about them OVER and over again. Only YOU know what's right for you. And if that means you can't discuss it with family because they can't/won't understand it, so be it! They definitely don't need to know. I *am* glad to hear your husband and close friends know. That is FANTASTIC! And you are going to do great. Can't wait to read your future posts. Do you think surgery will be in May?

Logicwand I hope I join her there, I can also be a Panic Princess and if we go through it together we can,lean on each other's strength! You were a sleever, well as a future RnY I keep dreaming my surgeon sneezes and makes my pouch face the wrong way and spends an extra half-hour trying to rejoin my intestines. Totally groundless, mine has done so many he probably could do them in his sleep- although I'm hopeful the whole team will be wide awake,so you mentally waving bye bye to the stomach portion resonates with me. TropicalBeachDoll I promise to be your buddie, even if our dates don't align, okay? We can and will do,this, Girlfriend![emoji13][emoji173][emoji172][emoji13][emoji171][emoji13][emoji170]

Haven't got one yet had change programs but I think May, June at latest. Long story of why I switched but new one better fit for me. Have psych eval for 2 hours April 25 and should know more after that. Don't worry I'm not giving up until I get my surgery. I'm hanging here the duration![emoji13][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]Want mine over and done before August, that is my high school class reunion. I want to look fine and refined by then!!!
