SOOOO very nervous

New to this sight! And every thing I read is sooooo helpful. Thank You!! I just am getting very very nervous. I have a date for January 17. I keep going over every thing (do I have what I need when I get home, is the hotel room my family will be staying in big enough, did I read every thing I need to know) I think I'm just afraid some thing will happen to me. I have four kids weighting for me at home. I read what people say and I feel the same way. I have no over weight friends to talk to about this. They just don't under stand what being over weight means (like why I do not go to the show can't fit in the seat). It is nice to know that there are other people out there like me. Thank you

i know the feelings heather. i am having my surgery on january 31st i have been happy sad scared all of em!!!! we are doing a great thing to improve life for ourselves and our families. god bless and congrats on your surgery!!! julie k

hi heather. my surgery is january 18th and i'm very nervous too! i've had it scheduled since well before the holidays and i told myself that i wasn't allowed to stress until the week before. well, now that week is here and i'm all-out stressing. i want to stay positive because i honestly believe that it will help me heal faster. let's both try to do that! i'll be thinking of you on the eve of my surgery.

I am scheduled for the 28th of January. No real big stress yet but is is always in the back of my mind.

My surgery is scheduled for January 28, and I am going through the same thing... trying to get everything together, what I need to have done here, etc. Just do the best you can--home will take care of itself, and it will all be there when you get back! Best wishes! Teresa

I have felt so fortunate to have found OH because the support I receive is so helpful. I have been able to share my fears and concerns like you have. It is a real blessing. Congratulations on your surgery date. You'll be on the losing side before you know it. My surgery is 1-21-05 and I am getting excited and nervous at the same time. Bless you! Carolyn

Heather, I am also going in on th 17th...I've been worrying non-stop all week...I can't believe I am having surgery in a WEEK! Good luck! I will keep you in my thoughts

Well I am glad I am not the only one worring out there. I know a week is so close but so far a way. I well be thinking of you too on the 17th

Congrats Heather on your new date . How is your daughter doing ? Good I hope ! Maybe you should make a list of things to do and questions not answered. it might calm your nerves. That has helped me alot. Your rite about people not understanding what is like to be, as I like to say a Big girl. Most are ignorant others are cruel or insensitive. As for as the surgery goes you 've been waiting for this a long time. Relax the best you can and believe it will all be ok. Take care , Lisa

MY daughter is doing fine. Just more stress in my life. It has been 3 weeks now thou. I have post it notes up all over the place. I have some crossed off. It feels like January 17 will never come.
