Think that’s normal and very natural. Changing your life is difficult. I’m nervous, had my pre op assessment today and my BP was through the roof, purely because I was there. I’m also frightened of being dependent upon people for even a short while. I take comfort knowing they do the surgery 3 times per week and people come through the other side.
speak about your doubts. Bringing them into light might help.

I feel the same way. I also think it's normal to feel this way. I am hoping it's like everyone says it will be, and I will be happy I did this. I am at my PAT right now and am nervous

Hello all, long-time member who has been away for a while. January 8th I am scheduled for a revision lapband to bypass. The band was successful for years and no doubt saved my life but it has run its course and the weight is going back on and the band is maxed out.

SADI surgery coming Jan 10!

Today is day 9 of the clear liquids and I finally feel like I can do this!!! Only 5 more days to go. ?

I've definitely had some moments where I'm doubting, anxious thoughts creeping in, feeling lightheaded and sorry for myself, but I keep walking, swimming, doing laundry, playing games on my ipad, and journaling/coloring. Listening to music helps a lot, and weirdly enough, cooking meals for my family helps but I've been cooking them meals for years that I can't eat so it isn't the same I guess. Right now my lovely husband is sitting across the room eating Doritos and I had a moment of irritability about that but I'm the one who put the order in at the grocery store?

Well done. Sounds like you’ve got it cracked. I’d have had the same reaction to a Dorito chomping husband.
My work is full of food. And I mean FULL. New Year will be even worse, and I’m on duty 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I will have the resolve to resist as it’s a long game but I shall be glad when it’s over.

Jan. 8th!
