May 26, 2009 --- oh my!

I am so nervous, I can't sleep and I can't remember anything they told......geez....my nerves are shot, don't know what to expect, everyone is different....I feel I am 100% ready one day, and the next I don't want to do it...I am sure I am not alone in my thinking.

I can understand the not being able to sleep and freaking out over remembering. Are dates are pretty close. Yay Kudos & Congrats!

My surgery date is 5/26 too.  It has just been the last week and a half that I have firmly decided that I am making the right decision.  I accepted the fact that the surgery and everything around having the surgery is not going to be perfect.  Friends are trying to encourage me to go another diet with a dietitian.  I am self pay, and can I really afford to pay $17000 for this surgery--it should be going into my retirement account.  Moving out of the uncertianty phase helped me alot--it was driving me nuts!!

Good luck and keep in touch.

If you don't have the surgery you may not make it to retirement.  So put that into perspective.

That is another argument for not telling.  People are stupid.

I think what your feeling is pretty normal. Just relax and enjoy the ride. You will be on the losers bench soon.

My surgery is May 25 right now I am dong good, I am sure this next week will be a little stressful on me.  I really think what your are feeling is completely normal, this is a big life change. 

We are almost there...Whew! I will be so glad with this is over and I can start all over.

I wish you luck!!! I have the same surgery day!!!

Thanks and same to you.....
