Hi Totally freaking Hey everything is going to be ok. Plus it's totally ok to feel the way you are, you would'nt be normal if you weren't freakin out TRUST ME, I'm right there with ya. **********************************Cheri

Hi Deb, I feel that what you are going through is very normal. One is scared, excited and anxious to get started losing weight and feeling better. You are not alone in feeling "freaked Out." Good Luck Twenty Days to Go Person. Dorothea

Hey Deb, I know how you feel.my date is 7/8/05.. I still don't beleive it. I have to have 1 more EKG & bloodwork. Do you have to start a liquid diet?? I have noticed that many others have posted that. I do not have to . Hang in there..We will be happy when it is all over so we can start out new life!!

I'm totally freakin too Deb . My surgery is in July 11th and I am having so many thoughts go through my head. I really am looking foward to losing the weight but I also keep having doubts. Are you? I had everything settled in my mind and then my mother kept coming to me with death stories and pointing out all the negative and ever since then I keep having conflicting thoughts. my surgery sure is sneaking up on me . Today I was calling all my doctors trying to make sure thay have all the test results before my pre op on the 28th. Thats still messed up, but I think I'll have enough time to get it all turned in.I'm sure glad I found you guys at OH I really needed someone to tell these things to. alena

Alena I think we all have heard the horror stories, I just got to the point where I say (sometimes I just think it -lol) "and do you know anyone who has died from high blood pressure, diabetes, had a stroke, heart attack, a c-section (same incident rate now days as wls), etc"- My dr told me last week the next step for me if I don't lose weight is a stroke or heart attack. Even though he is not a proponent of wls, he unknowlingly validated my decision to have this surgery-no, he doesn't know. I am looking for a new dr who will support me after this, not be negative. I have to say I am anxious about afterwards, but I am not scared about the surgery. I have done a LOT of research, prayed and know this is what I am to do. I just can't wait until July 15-one month from today!!!! Luci

I am not freaking out yet... but I totally expect to soon. (We have the same surgery date.)

I know just what you are going through my surgery is less than 3 weeks away and I nervous as hell I'm sure both will come out great I don't know what to expect but I know people that have had surgery and they say if they had to do it again they would. Brenda in KS
