What is my problem?

Well today I went to Surgical Admissions to get my Labs and EKG done for Monday the 15th. I have to be in @ 5:30 a.m. to have my surgery done. I thought I have been pretty calm and cool with everything leading up to the surgery. As I left the hospital....I was thinking of everything I needed to take care of before Monday. Then I just busted out crying....I mean my fear sunk in....thoughts of my children. I COMPLETELY lost it in my car. I think I cried for at least a good 30 mins. I know I ready to have the surgery...but I can't seem to shake this feeling of sadness. I don't wanna call my Mom and worry her.....and it seems like my friends are mad at me because of my decision to have this surgery to better my life. I don't know......but man I feel so emotional today...just tearing like a big baby. Has everyone else experienced anything like this before surgery? Thanks Christina : ' (

It's all normal - part of the "less than a week to go" syndrome! Just hang in there and try to think about the outcome! I'm a day after you, and have been going throught the same thing. I'll keep you in my prayers! mgm

I have already had a pitty party today. I know it is not finished. I guess it is normal.

I posted the same thing last week....it just hit me one day...I was crying about anything. Now my surgery is Tuesday and I am much calmer. We do it all at a little different pace.

It's the week-before meltdown. It is obviously common on this board! You will do fine--just needed a release. Joy

Hi Christina, I can relate, I'm on this huge emotional rollercoaster myself...one day I'm excited and the next I look in my babies' eyes and welp up and sob. I know its normal and I guess its the way our brains work. You'll be fine, think positive thoughts and you'll be in my thoughts and prayers...hang in there. I'm going in Monday too! Take care, Wendy

Hey Christina: Like everyone here says it is normal. Earlier this week or maybe it was last week I could have smacked every single person around me - if I was a smacking kind of woman. I think inside I may be but thank God it doesn't show. Tears, anger, fear, excitment and more are all normal--so is the joy you will feel when you are of normal weight. Louise

Hang in there. I will be right there with ya on Monday. I am a bit later than you are.. I have to be at the hospital at 1030. You will be already in recovery by the time I get my turn! This is going to be well worth it!!

I am right there with ya. I have been preparing this whole week for what I will face next week. My daughter is home on Spring Break and she has help with the house cleaning and went with me to my pre-op. I am starting to freak out a little...I am not sure I want to face Mon & Tues. I will be here alone for the biggest parts of the day. I am going to follow what my angel told me which is this. I am going to be fine...breath in .... breath out. Hang in there! You pray for me and I will pray for you. Shannon The Irish Lassie 3/17/04

Christina, you are definently not alone on this. I was crying the whole week before my surgery. You will do great though, so don't worry. Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler and Bertha 11 Days into NewPouch and feeling great! -25 lbs!!!! Yayyyy A riddle a day will keep the Marchers pounds AWAY!
