I have a date! June 20th.

I am happy & scared

I just got a date of 6/27/05 and I am feeling the same way. What if I fail at this? What then? Shoot myself?

I agree with both of you. My date is June 27th as well. Remember though - we are strong people. We pursued this avenue for a reason. We talked to doctors, therapists, nurses & nutritionists, and we fought for approval. We have every right to be happy AND scared. We will not fail (our bodies won't allow it). Enjoy losing it and becoming a new person. (Maybe I should become a motivational speaker instead of a medical assistant, eh?) LOL Diana

'Hang in there, do you best to follow doctor's orders, know that you've got a whole community of people here online that understand what you're going through...and don't give up. You're worth the life style (& weight) goals that you wish to reach. 'Just think of the end results.....the final wonderful results of all of our hard work. I'm pretty certain that it will greatly enhance our every step in life - -and we can live like we deserve to live - - not having to carry an extra 100 plus pounds around with us everywhere that we go. 'Hang in there. You're not alone.

Hey Sam, My date is June 20th too! I'm happy and a little scared too, I think that is normal. Good luck with your surgery! See you on the losing side. Cindy
