SCHEDULED FOR JULY 12!

The closer I get to the date, the more nervous I get. I'm on an emotional rollercoaster. I've gone from being extremely excited and relieved about finally getting my insurance approval, then anxiety set in, now I'm just down right scared. I've battled my weight all my life, so I'm definitely not turning back now, but I really need some prayers for strength!

Neshia, I am also scheduled for July 12 for my surgery. Everyone keeps asking me if I am nervous and/or scared, but I am neither. I don't believe I have ever felt more focused than I do now. I hope it stays with me. I think it is because I am more afraid of my life without the surgery than I am of anything that could happen with it. You are in my prayers, all the best for you as you move towards getting your life back. Jamie

Neshia, I too am scheduled for surgery on the 12th, it is scary but exciting also. I have heard people say on here that they write letters to their family before hand. I thought about doing that but then it kind of feels like you are almost expecting for something to go wrong. Then I hesitate. I haven't even told my 84 year old dad, because I know he will worry himself sick and there is nothing he can do about it any way. He lives on the east coast. I will keep you and Jamie in my prayers and we will all get to be losers soon.
