I am starting to get scared
Hi Michelle
My surgery is also on April 2nd and I am excited and scared both. I am excited about the possibilities and scared about dying as well but more scared for what might happen if I don't have the surgery. We have 6 days and a wake up and then we will be on the losing side. Take care and see you on the other side. Good luck

Michelle...like so many others here...my date is also April 2nd. I have had all the same thoughts you are having. I am being very realistic with myself...I may miss out on foods that I now love...I may end up with batwings...my belly will definitely sag more...which may make me less attractive to my husband...my thinner face will probably make me look older. Then I stop to think...plastic surgery will fix the skin issues...my thinner face will look more attractive...my husband will be thrilled I took such a big step towards a healthier future. Add to that...cpap will be gone...blood pressure meds - gone...GERD - gone...aching legs - gone...blood sugar testing - gone...the inability to keep up with my kids - GONE!
The hesitations...fleeting thoughts...fear...all of that will be gone when we see the difference in how we feel...everyday will be better than the last. This wasn't an easy decision for us to make but it is the RIGHT decision for us and our loved ones.

another April 2 person here. I so understand where you are coming from. I have almost thrown in the towel twice today for a bowl of frosted flakes..I think that if we went into this with out thinking of all the what if's and am I sure this is what I want to do, there would be a problem. You've got lots of great advise from the posters above. Keep your eyes on the prize and if you want go to http://www.landsend.com/cd/frontdoor/ and set up a virtual model of what you will look like at your goal weight. That helped stop the cereal craving for me.
