Hello Everyone 2 weeks to go!!!

Need alot of encouragement. THis must be time where you chicken out. I am very nervous. I am also excited at times. Is this all normal. I am a mess. Please say a prayer for me. Kimberly Taylor

Don't worry Kim you will do fine. It's not a walk in the park but everyday gets better. If you want some insight about what I experienced check out my profile. I made some pretty detailed notes in there about my surgery. Will be praying for you. Patty

I know how you are feeling and I have been told it is normal. I have 9 days to go. My surgery date is the 26th. Good luck, and just relax everything will be ok. Dawn D

GO FOR IT!! I feel the same way but I am so motivated by the thought that this time next year how I will look and feel. I am excited and nervous and did chicken out on this one time before. It was before it got to the insurance approval stage. BUT after trying (again) to lose weight on my own I decided to go ahead with this and everything just fell into place. I know that you are scared, and that is a natural feeling so just experience it, acknowledge it and then let it go. Trust in yourself and your doctor and let the support of all of us on this site be your strength and your guide. It has certainly helped me to know what to expect after the surgery. I am thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery and will look for you on the losing side!!! Mary (scheduled VBG 8/23/04-Bremerton,WA)
