got a date and now scared??

Oh yes, Monday I was ready to cancel, then I wasn't, then I was! Roller coaster of emotions. This is a big decision for us. But if you have alot of support you will be fine, talk to your friends. Next year at this time you'll look back and think why was I scared. My surgery is August 6 ! Ypsi, MI

:-$ OMG I felt the same way....I had a tentative date for August 3rd but I hadnt had nsurance approval yet so it wasnt set in stone...yesterday the woman from my surgeons office called me while I was driving and told me that I was approved and I felt my hands shaking on the steering wheel I had to call her back after I parked.....It didnt seem real to me until I got the approval because the date was not set....n once I found out I freaked out and I am still dealing with it right now....still havent quite excepted that I will be operated on in 5 days....I hope all goes well with yours...:-D

I am glad I am not alone, you will do well,just think next summer we might be a beach in a bathing suit some where flaunting our stuff. besty of luck

I'm set for 08/28 so I guess I'll be following you into the OR. I'm starting to get a little ansy myself. Before it was reading, researching, and waiting for insurance approval. Then all of a sudden everything seems to hit at once and it isn't just a potential anymore it is reality.

ditto. good to hear others share my same thoughts good luck,,,,,,jhb

Yes Jennifer, I am right there with you......I have been waiting for the day and now that it is 5 days away, I am getting a bit scared.........

Jennifer Your never alone God will be there with you. That is what is going me thought this. My date is 8/31 . I can't say I'm scared yet but I think it's because it doesnt' seem real to me yet. My finally appt with my surgeon is on the 9th maybe then it will hit me. It seems like my husband is more scared then anyone but I can't blame him if the shoe was on the other foot I would be a mess. ( but he's only 160 lbs lol) Hope you get some peace from all these wonderful people on here. god bless you Jessica

This is funny reading yours and all the replies. I have been preparing for this for a long time and was fine and excited until I got the call with the actual date and then I got very nervous. My stomach has been doing flip-flops ever since. My surgery date is the 14th. Best of luck to you.
