Pre-op jitters for the 22nd!

Oh, my, I did not expect to be feeling this anxious! I'm excited & frightened at the same time. I'm even second guessing myself about whether this is the right thing to do! (I know it is in my heart) I'm isolating which is easy to do since I live alone. This is SO major. My whole life is going to be so different. I just keep reminding myself of all the things I will be able to do as the weight comes off. Hike, ride rollercoasters, fit in an airplane seat comfortably, etc. Congrats to all of us July people! Best wishes to all whose date is coming soon & a speedy recovery.

hi Kate; Congrats to your lucky date! From now on that should be considered the day of your re-birth I'm almost 2 yr post come the 18th of dec and had an open rny. You'll do just fine and yes you'll look forward to being much healthier so that everything will fit better and it will! I'm in Phx, Az and look forward to seeing you @obesityhelp.com when you're back on your feet again. till then God speed for a quick recovery! Your WLS friend, Teri

Kate: You may not see this before you go in, but I feel the same way. I am going July 29th. This is major..and it will change my life. I will not be able to lift my grandson for months. I am worried I will be the first patient this surgeon ever lost. But, I am going through with it. I cannot wait to wake up in recovery. Godspeed and have a great recovery. Sally Bowron
