Anita, I know it's easier said then done, but try not to worry too much.  I'm sure you've done your research and feel very confident with your surgeon.  You'll be just fine.  You've made a great decision for yourself and your future in terms of your health and wellbeing.  Always keep in mind your motivating factor - it may help ease the tension.  My motto - "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels."  I want to get to that point.  I want to know that there's no food out there that I crave more than I crave to be thin.  That's what I think about when I start to feel nervous.  I'm actually handling the nerves better than I thought.  I only truly get nervous when my husband starts to talk about it.  Hang in there.  We'll get through this!  See you on the loser's bench!

Congrats on your surgery date!  I'm April 17 also.  I started my liquid diet today.  So far, it's not so bad.  My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery!

Congrats Ruth, best of luck to you...

Tomorrow is my day!! Very very excited a little scared but I know I am in good hands!

KCowden and Sarah, I wish you both a speedy recovery!
