Tom is the day

Ok so I am freaking out....I am not sure because I am not normally like this but I am a emotional wreck!  I am curious is anyone else has felt this way.  I am crying and  irritated and not at all like myself.  I am not sure what my problem is.  Is this normal?  Oh what is my problem?  I keep starting to feel better and then some stupid person will say something negative about how I could die and all and then I am a wreck again....  Someone please tell me if I am alone in this?
Thanks!

 I am scheduled the same day (tomorrow) so I kinda know what you are feeling. The good news is this:
You are going to be fine. You will have gassy pains that will be hanging around post op ( and from what I understand that is going to suck) . You will be tired and loopy from the surgery...but you will be fine. Sore...yep good chance of that as well...but you are going to be fine. 

I am kinda hanging my hat on the logic...and honestly...this place isn't where you want to spend time looking thru posts of all the "what ifs" and every wild,wacky, and and odd thing that has ever happened in the history of WLS.

You know why you took this path for WLS , you did your homework , you did your pre surg tests...now let the experts do their thing tomorrow because you've got the rest of your life to work this tool to meet your goals.

Go get 'em!!!

I had my gallbladder out just a few months ago so I am not that nervous about afterward, but more just about going under and all.  thanks for the encouragment and good luck!!

Freaked out over here myself.  Tomorrow is the day.  I don't even know what I feel anymore.

Good luck everyone!  Let us know how you make out

You are all going to be wonderful.  And you don't have a problem. I remember three days before my surgery breaking down into tears.  Not because of a real fear, but because something had just pissed me off and all I wanted was to eat something.  (Popcorn specifically)  Of course, I was on a liquid diet and couldn't do that.  I talked through the emotions and was fine, but it was a real moment of awakening for me to realize the power of my addiction to food and how I used it to cope.  So no, you're not alone.  Your emotions are raw and this is a period of huge adjustment and transformation.  Some days will be better than others, but you'll be fine.   Yes, there will be pain and discomfort - I still have some - but each day is better than the one before.  

And don't worry about negative people.  They just wish they could be as brave as you and make a choice to change their lfe.  You've researched this, you know the consequences of not having the surgery, and you've made the right choice for you.  In my book, that makes you incredible.

And as for those negative people, the best thing is to ignore them.  But, if you need a snappy comeback, tell them something like, "You're right.  I don't know what's going to happen on the operating table any more than I know what's going to happen when I get in my car to drive to work in the morning.  But, if I don't have the surgery I do know that I am at increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, High BP, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and a whole host of things that could just as easily end my life at any moment.  So, all things considered, I'll trust the trained surgeon and his team over the consequences of my list of co-morbidities, thank you very much." 

Thank you to everyone!  I do feel better now.  I just keep praying and trusting in the research I did before the emotion****  I do think the food thing is most of it....I sort of feel like I lost my best friend... It is helping  me realize some things already... Good luck to all and see you on the loser bench!
