Hi All -

My surgery is cheduled for Tuesday. I was on vacation the past 10 days so I really didn't think about it much, but now that I am home I am totally scared. I know in my heart that this is the right thing to do for me, but yet I keep asking myself am I doing the right thing. I have been over weight my entire life - so this will be a huge lifestyle change for me and I really need it. I am sure there are many people out there who felt the same way right? Like why do I have to do this? Why can't I just do it on my own???

Any thoughts?

Hi everyone, I am scheduled for May 22, and like everyone else, I am really scared as well. Earlier this week, I was seriously considering canceling. But then I started thinking about all the things I want to do that my weight doesn't let me do. I saw some sexy low rider jeans at the mall the other day and I was thinking how nice it would be to be able to wear them! I am still pretty scared, but I am starting to get a little more excited. I go to the preop class next week and I think I will feel alot better after that. Good luck to everyone!

dperson--just tell her that you are not sold on it (even if you are) but you would like a refferral to see a surgeon to see if you would be a good canidate for surgery and to get the information that you are looking for. She doesn't have to agree with it but it is your choice. let me guess shes about 28 years old and 110lbs right?
