Surgery on Monday

Well, I finally finished all of my testing and I am set to sign the consent forms tomorrow. I am still so nervous and I am not sure about this. I wonder if it is too drastic of a step. I am lucky to date. I have not had any problems to date but I have been unable to lose the weight. Then I ask myself did I really try? I did-I know I did, but I am really scared and nervous. I know right out is difficult, but, does it get easier? It seems that I always read the posts and see people three or four years out who are still having trouble. Any words of advice would be helpful. I figure I could give Gods ears a rest and come to my peers. Kathy B.

Hi Kathy! I am praying for you and I know the Lord will keep you in his arms. I will be having my surgery on the 28th and I am nervous now, but as the days go by I know I need. Good Luck!

Kathy I can relate to how you feel I think we all feel the same way, but I know I have tried to lose weight my whole life and keep it off and I can't. I feel like this is my last chance. My Drs. say if I don't get it done I won't live very long so even though I am scared to death and keep asking myself if I really want them to cut up my insides I think of wanting to live.I'm not getting the surgery to be skinny or look sexie I don't even care if I lose all of my weight (although it would be nice) I just want to lose enough where I can walk and do things for myself I haven't been able to do for a long time. Hang in there and good Luck WE are all pulling for you! remember you are not alone!!!!!!!!!!!!
