Scared

my surgery is an feb 11, but i'm so scared. i'm excited but really scared. does anyone feel the same way?

Oh My Heck am I scared!!!! My surgery is also the 11th of Feb, and everyday I am freaking out! I can't wait for it to be here, but until then the wait might kill me! I mean I have broken down and cried, hard because I am so scared. I am not like this normally either! I'm normally not afraid of anything, but hey this is surgery, so a bit of worrying is normal. I am sure we will both be fine!! In a few weeks it will all be over, and our new life will begin!!

TOTALLY scared! *L* I mean, aside from the pain of recovering from surgery, my biggest fear is this won't work! I've tried everything else, that I am afraid to put my faith in anything. And if it works, will I be able to see Melissa as a thin person? Or will I still think like a fat girl? Lots of changes. Hope I'm ready for them! My surgery is on the 10th..So yes, I think we all have some degree of being scared. Keep the faith! I'm trying! *L*

I hear ya!!! My surgery is schedule for Feb 03 and I wish I could hide under . But you know what I know we will all do GREAT!!!! Kim

Glad I'm not the only one. My surgery is the 1st of Feb. If I'm this nervous now, it is likely to be unbearable by the date. I'm going to need to be put out by then. It's perfectly normal to be scared. My resolution to this is to keep busy, as busy as possible. Keep talking it out too. Good Luck to you!

Try not to be scared, feel secure with your decision, be excited but be strong as I am trying to do the same as I just got my date 2/15/05 and I am in the same boat! see you on the losing side and good luck to you.Sandy I.

Ana, I feel the exact same way. My surgery is scheduled Feb 2. I am so excited about it and then I get nervous thinking of all the negtive aspects of the surgery. My husband is supportive and I have a friend that had her surgery three weeks ago and she is giving me a lot of concrete advice. Your feelings are normal, I am glad you can express them here.
