got a date and now scared??

I finally got a date, August 27 , and until they called me i was excited and once it was real I started to freak myself out, anyone else ??

I was really excited at first, but about a week ago I started to have trouble sleeping Every night when I would get into bed I would just run over my list of things that I still needed to get done. So I haven't been getting much sleep of late, but I almost have everything done. I am still nervous, anxious and excited, but I can't wait to have this surgery over and done with Just a few more days!

My surgery date is Aug 29 so yeah I know how you feel. I keep going over in my head.. do I still really wanna do this or don't I??? LOL I know it is nerves but I keep thinking about the pain I will be in and I hate pain and I feel like Im putting myself right there in it, hummm yeah I guess I am huh??? Im hoping it will pay off in the end though. Hugsss Donna

Hi Donna, I feel the same way. very scared, but I know that this is right! Aug 16, can't come soon enough. Pain, I hear is not that bad, just alittle uncomfortable with the gas they use to enlarge the abdom area. Hang in there, we are going to be healthy and beautiful when all is done!! Judy :thumbsup:

hi Laura - have to say hey cuz I have same surgery date -- excited - anxious - more excited - still anxious --- all of the above -- and VERY ready to begin this journey... good luck lets chat next wk... Laurie

I feel the same way. I can barely sleep either. I was excited but now since August 23rd is drawing near im becoming more and more nervous. Im on the high protein diet for 4 weeks so im hungry and sleepless...lol...good luck everyone. We will all do fine.

I understand totally. At first I was really excited, but now a week away and I am a ball of nerves. Its totally normal. Trish

My date is Wednesday August 1, 2007. I am having the lap-band. I am so scared I don't know what to do. Sleep??? What is that? I have been on a liquid diet since Wednesday last week. Hunger is my first name. It is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Yet, I know everything is going to be alright. See you guys on the losers bench. Best of Luck and many prayers sent your way.

The time won;t go by fast enough for me. I am mostly excited. I'm a little unsure about the unknown, but with great support from family and friends, and my wonderful 9 yo son, I couldn't be calmer. Mine is August 6 at 7:30 am. I have to be there two hours early and that's the part I'm nervous about. Making sure I get up in time. My mom wants to go to the hospital with me so we are all staying at the hospitals Kawanis house and leaving my kids with my dad and mom will go with me till after surgery. She has been my little voice about following my pre-op diet. Best of luck to you and congrats on the road to a slimmer, healthier, more beautiful you.

Hey Jennifer. You know the saying.. "no sense, no feeling"? Well that must be me cuz I am not scared at all YET. I have been there though. I think I went through it early. Or maybe it's yet to come. I have 14 more days before my surgery date. In fact.... for some really bizare reason I can't wait to wake up in pain! It seemed like this stage of the journey would really never happen and now that it's almost here I am saying... BRING IT ON! They also have another saying... "be careful what you wish for"... well... I better keep my big mouth closed because I do have a habit of getting exactly what I wish for! LOL You keep picturing yourself coming out of surgery smiling and pain free! Think positive thoughts and don't think about anything negative. Positive thoughts attract positive events. I'm telling you it really really works! Keep in touch! Hugs, Marianne C.
