I have one day til surgery. I have spent the last 3 hours reading success stories. I am feeling the butterflies. I can't wait to join everyone on the losing side. I am really worried. I won't be able to take the pain or that I will have major complications. Does everyone kinda freak a little before surgery. I feel like I have waited so long for this chance at a better life. Now that the time has come for the surgery at last I can't help but feel something will go wrong. Please tell me I am not alone with these feeling. Penny

I think it must be normal. I'm not having second thoughts or anything but my surgery is just 3 days away and I'm starting to get a bit nervous! Angel

Hi penny- we are in the same boat. I have 24 hours to go! I am scared, worried and yesterday I though that maybe I COULD really diet (I have not eaten solid food for 14 days) and therefore I should cancel! I am not- I keep reminding myself why I need to do this. I also am worried something will go wrong. So - what am I going to say- ALMOST EVERYONE feels the way we do. We would be nuts to think that we would be fine and not worry about this big step. I am so hungry now that my judgement is cloudly- so I am keeping with my logical thinking that had me jump through so many hoops- I can't help since we are in the same boat (so to speak) but you can email me and we can talk.

penny you are definitely not alone in this. my surgery is tomorrow the 24th at noon and to say i am nervousis an under statement. i am not so much nervous for myself and the surgery, i am nervous for my family if something goes wrong with the surgery. i have 100% confidence in my surgeon and his staff and i have faith in GOD, i am just 2nd guessing myself. I have 5 friends who live near me who have had this surgery, one of which had it on april 20th and i was with her the whole time and she did absolutely wonderful. my other 4 friends had no complications at all either. i know its easy to say oh, you will be fine to someone else, but convinceing yourself of it is a different story. i will say a prayer for you. robin
