Hi Gigi and Qammar! So glad I have a couple of "surgery sisters" to go on this journey with me! I went to my final pre-op apt. today and did all my pre-admission stuff. It is REALLY happening! I have to admit, my nerves are getting a little jittery though, and I have this fear in my head that is saying to me, "what if I fail?" I suppose this is normal considering that for the past 9 years, my weight loss journey has been wrought with failure! I have to get it into my head that I do have the tools and along with this tool of surgery, I WILL succeed! Anyone else have this fear? Anyway, I hope you all are having a great day, and that your surgeries go perfectly! : )

 Hardly seems like enough time has gone by but I've been working on this since July 27th...and here we are! 

I go back and forth from eager to afraid, excited to apprehensive, and all points inbetween. It also doesn't help that I had panic attacks with an ankle surgery I had 10 years ago and I'm afraid they'll come back up. But no matter what, I know I'll be okay and I know I'm in good hands with my surgeon. And my husband has been so awesome and supportive. 

To everyone else having surgery in the next couple weeks - Godspeed to you all!

Dont worry about crying jags, dont forget you have had general anesthesia as well you are losing weight so your hormones are dropping with the weight.  Your body is changing and as that happens so do our hormones.  We all know just how much fun that is.

Go  with the flow - take care of you and enjoy the time to recover and relearn how to be healthy

Thanks Chris... Yea cancelling is a real bummer but like Mimi said. 2nd times a charm. LOL

Good luck to you as well. Your less than a week behind me.

I had mine on the 13th. How you feeling so far?
