Date 2/2 and scared!

I am only 1 week away from surgery and instead of feeling overjoyed that the day is finally arriving, I am scared to death! Does anyone else share my fears? I have waited for over a year to be where I am today, never in a million years did I think the week prior to surgery I would be second guessing my decission I made over a year ago. Please someone reasure me that I have made the right decission and that all will be fine!

Hi Cindy. I know you are anxious about the surgery but then, you should be more worried about the consequences of not having it. There are relatively few surgeries that have complications afterward. I will pray for you as will many others *****ad your post . You are doing what's right for you and God has given you the strength to go through it. Put your worries in His hands.

Hi! I am also having surgery in February 23rd and i am very nervous and excited!!! Everyone tells me don't be nervous, you will be in good hands of the skilled surgon. Try to concentrate on the positive outcome of the surgery and how great you will be feeling soon!! If you would like let me know how it goes i know you will be fine. Best Wishes in your WLS, Jill

I've only been waiting since October 2003 and this is my third date one date was chaged one week prior to surgery so I know how your feeling. Keep us updated on your WLS best wishes Tracy

Cindy, I have the same date as you and I am so excited just do what I do... I go look at all the B4 and After photos and see all the wonderful things that we have waiting for us.... Trust in God I will be praying for you and look forward to reading about your progress. Keep the faith and I think it is ok to be a little scared but also be excited god bless

Hi Cindy! I am with you totally..to the point where I pick up my baby and cry!!! I hear this is just a stage. What I keep telling myself is that I want to be able to walk on the beach with my baby, to ride roller coasters, to help him ride a bike, to see his children. Right now, I watch my husband ride the roller coasters, go bike riding..and do all that stuff. Well, hopefully soon after the surgery, MOMMY will be able to really be MOMMY! Even though I know I'm doing the right thing...I'm right with ya, I still have the feeling that something may go wrong sometimes..but this is all normal, I'm sure. We'll be fine God Bless and Good luck!

You can add me to the list of 2/2 surgeries. Cindy, it's important to have a positive attitude. We CAN and MUST do this and we must trust our doctors. They know so much more now and you must trust yours. Focus on the happy thoughts about AFTER. Hang up something that you want to wear when you lose that is really exciting, go shopping if you don't have something, but hang it where you can see it as much as possible and dream happy dreams. Know that you are not alone, there are several of us on the 2nd and we will all be thinking about and praying for each other. Best wishes for a speady recovery and God Bless You. sunny
