Kinda concerned about my mood..

I've been reading through all these posts about people who are getting close to the surgery and I'm just kinda like .. ehh.. it'll get here when it gets here. I'm starting to get concerned if its normal to not have to many mixed feelings either way about this so close to surgery (may 19th)

My surgery is May 16th and I'm a nervous wreck! However, I was speaking with a co-worker earlier who had the surgery back in September and I asked her how she felt before going in. She said she never stressed about it but she also said that she had multiple surgeries before the gastric bypass so she was acustomed to the routine. Like everything else in life...."different strokes for different folks"

My surgery is on Thursday, I do know what you mean about feelings. My feelings are all over the place. I am very excited and also nervous, some time I just don't know what to feel. But then, I just draw on my faith in God and realize that everything will be ok. Good luck to you and may God Bless.

Hi Elnora, I think, since we are all individuals with different life experiences, that WHATEVER you are feeling is "normal". Normal for you! I'm not feeling anything much either ... until I go to a support group, or get around other people who are having the surgery too. Then my excitement level goes up a notch or three! Best of everything ... hope your surgery goes great! Dawn

Hi Elnora I know what you mean, I go on the 23rd, and I'm in no hurry, nor do I dread the days approach. So if that makes us different, so be it. Without getting too mushie, (guys don't do that.... ) The way I've looked at this whole process is; I've turned the whole matter over to God. There were SO many places along the line that he could have stopped the whole process cold. However, I kinda sailed right through with very few bumps. I assume therefore that it's cool with God and therefore cool with me. My soul is at rest. When my date comes it will be here and until then....well I'll just be plain ole me. Well I might spend so more time with my grand-daughters! Maybe I'll contemplate what God has in store for a much thinner and more energetic me. Keep the faith, and I'll see you on the other side!

Wow Jeff. Awsome reply. I love what you have wrote. I think sometimes we get so cought up in the process that we forget who is really in charge. Thanks for reminding me. --Angela

I am scheduled for the 22nd. I am excited in a way and nervous in a way, but it seems like that is just "in my head." What I am actually feeling... is that it seems so unreal - that this is actually happening. I have considered surgery for over ten years, but there were always obstacles to having it done until now. I agree also to feeling that this is a "God" thing. He opened the door for me to be able to have this surgery and has brought me to this point. I am trusting that this is His will for me and that He will take care of me through it. Now the thought of actually being a thin person... wow, that just seems surreal...
