July 16-Will it ever get here?

I have a date for sugery set-July 16th. I'm have vertical sleeve surgery. Anyone else out there a little scared about how life will be after the big day? :angst:

Hey Beth! My surgery is also scheduled for July 16th, RNY. It seemed like a long time away when I first scheduled, but now we're 37 days out! It's only the "big day" that scares me. I'm feeling okay about what happens afterward in terms of changes. I just want to make sure I see the other side of the surgical procedure. Keep in touch and let me know how you're doing leading up to and afterward! ~Claudia

Thanks for the encouraging words Claudia. How long have you been looking into having this surgery? I actually haven't confirmed if I'm having the vertical sleeve or the RNY-it depends on what and it the insurance approves. Let's keep in touch. I'd like to know what someone else is going through to measure my own experience with, not to mention it's just nice to share with someone that understands. Do you have family and friends close by for support?

Beth, I thought I replied to this, but I don't see a response! I hope that I sent you a private message!! Anyway, been working on this for a year. Could probably have gotten the surgery sooner, but all in God's time! My husband is with me, and my two teenaged daughters. So... I will have lots of support, I think. If not, my sister will come over and kick my butt off the couch and keep me moving! Looking forward to the new slimmer, me! Where are you in the process of getting pre-op work done, etc? Let me know how you're doing!

That is so great to have family support. I couldn't do it without my family. My husband is skinny as a rail so he just doesn't appreciate how hard my life is. He does support me in this journey through surgery though. My whole family is my safety net. My sister keeps me in line too! Right now I'm scheduled for my pre-op tests next week. Have you had your testing done? Did you have to do the psychological evaluation? My biggest worry is the pre-op diet that I have start three weeks before the big day. I'm just terrible at sticking to diets and the anxiety of waiting for surgery isn't going to make it any easier. When you have to start your pre-op diet and what sort of diet is it? I've seen all sorts of diet requirement on the site. I wanted to compare note It's getting closer. How many days are we at now?
