Emotional Breakdown???

Ok so I woke up today and looked at my kids as they got ready for school...and just started crying hysterically and haven't stopped yet!I KNOW everything is going to be fine and nothing is going to happen to me, and up until this morning I was doing great! Is this normal?? Or will they wheel me to the loony bin instead of the OR tomorrow morning?? I am a wreck! I still haven't taken my pictures or even packed my bag! HAH And I am prepared wtf ok so today I WILL do all of this right?? ackkkkkk maybe i just need to be slapped?? or maybe I should go back to but hard to do that since I am waiting for the hospital to call with my time for tomorrow. I know I am making no sense Maybe i just need to ramble?? ughhh ok n/m enough of this! Someone please tell me I am not crazy???? ~Krista WLS TOMORROW!!!

Dear Krista, {{{{{{{{{{{{{Big hug}}}}}}}}}}}}} You're not crazy. As physcially and intellectually ready as you may be for surgery, your mind is having trouble getting itself around this major life-changing event. It's natural to be scared, even though your know you're in the best of hands. And emotional... Just reading your post makes me well up for you. I haven't slept very well at all this week (my surgery is on Monday). It's easy for someone to tell you to relax, but try as you may you WILL be nervous. Just know that you have everyone on your side, at home, at the hospital, and here. You'll do great! Don't crack up on us now!!! {{{{{{{{{{{Another big hug}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} You're in all our thoughts and prayers. Joe

Joe Thank you for the big hugs! All of the support has done wonders to calm me down today. Sorry if I had you welling up but damn if every little thing didnt make me cry today and I am NOT a big crier usually!! I havent slept in a week or so either so maybe it is catching up to me. Try to sleep then so this wont happen to you! And if I am home in time and it does I will be here for you!!! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Krista

Hey, you're kicking butt! Hang in there and shift into neutral. I'm dealing with mine by going to Vegas with other WLS just before my surgery on May 20. But I have not kids at home. You'll be fine. Barb in CA

Hey Barb! Vegas sounds like a plan!! Maybe if I was on that coast anyway! lol I am so much more calm now...but I have a while to wait. My surgery isn't until 1:30 I have to check into the hosp at 11:30. So my angel will be posting prolly on saturday! Dont know if she will find this board or not...but def the CT and the Main boards! I will keep you updated when I get home! take care hugsssssss Krista

Hey Krista, I had my banding on Monday and went through everything you're going through now. I was sure I'd die, was sure I was making the biggest mistake of my life,was sure I'd have terrible complications,yada,yada yada. This is LIFE CHANGING. We are going to be very different people down the road and we are going to have to learn how to deal with that. I know that I may need some professional help to deal with the changes that are coming. It's O.K. Since I had lap band surgery I won't lose as much as people who have bypass but I will still have to deal with a lot. Loss is one of the things people have told me that they felt deeply. Food had always been my friend and now I have to give up that friend and I resent it. I never even took pictures of my self. I was too embarassed. You'll be fine. Let me know when you come home.

Thank you for your support hun and congrats on your recent surgery!!! I will update all of u when I get back home! hugsssssssss Krista p.s. I STILL didnt do my pics either I am trying tho!!! That just scares me

Hey Krista, Your feelings are perfectly normal. I was there on Monday. Soon you'll be thru it and crossing over to the losing side. Many prayers for you and your family. Tammy

Tammy Thanks! congrats to you on ur recent surgery! Must not be too bad if ur here already! Thank you for the prayers! They are always appreciated hugssssssssssss Krista
