May 8th......the first day of the rest of my life :)

Here's to hoping everyone's surgeries this moth are successful! I have a nervous excitement myself. There's still a part of me screaming inside saying "DON'T DO IT" but then my rational part of me tells that voice to shut up LOL

Good Luck Aaron. I am Pam from Missouri, and my date is scheduled for 05-05-08. I am scared too, but I so desperately need the weight off so my knees won't get worse. I wish you all the luck and I am new at this, but feel like I want to communicate with folks in the same situation as myself. I am not being presumptous, just hang in there, and hope to hear from you on this site after your surgery.

The roller coaster of emotions are difficult to hang on to some days. There are times I start wanting to turn and go the other way, but that nerviousness is healthy. Then I remember WHY I have made this healthy decision. I appreciate you saying you tell that other voive to SHUT UP! My date is the 12th. Well wishes.............

Hey Aaron, I know just what you mean. I keep telling myself everything is going to be fine, but then there's another part of me that says "WHAT THE HEY ARE YOU ABOUT TO DO TO YOURSELF" I want and need to lose weight so bad, I can't remember when I felt good, so that is what keeps me going. Just know that this surgery is going to help me regain my life and feel better.
