Sept 21

My date is Sept. 21 and I'm freaking out. Kinda losing my mind. Anyone else scared? Marie

Hi Marie - I just got a call yesterday afternoon and I am scheduled for Sept 21 too! Kinda losing your mind? Sure am glad to know that I am not the only one! I don't know about you, but when I actually got the call I was much more apprehensive than I thought I would be. Actually have had thoughts about whether I want to do it or not. I am hoping that's normal. I know I still want to, but I'm just scared to death. We'll have to keep in touch since were will be on the table at the same time! Best wishes to you! Kerry

My date is september 15 I know how you feel. I'm excited but I'm also scared. Good luck on the 21 you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Marie, My date is 9/14 and I am scared too. I even tried to call and reschedule it. I am trying to turn it over to God and leave it with him but it's hard. Tha funny thing is in Jan 2003 I had my fibroids removed and I wasn't scared. I got a little nervous the night before but not like this. I wonder if it is because the procedure is WLS? Lisa

To be totally honest as of this moment in time I am totally calm. I was a little anxious because it felt like time was standing still but I find that as long as I don't pay attention to what day of the week it is, time goes by faster. I had to remind myself today because I have pre-admissions testing tomorrow. If I didn't look I would have missed it. I still have a few things I would like to get done but if I don't I am leaving a list for my hubby so he can finish up what I haven't. I wish you the best..... Shannon

Marie, I'm petrified... I'm not sure if this is normal or not...my mom said if I'm scared I should cancel...I said, "I'm not cancelling" I can't imagine what I'm going to be like in 20 days when it's only a week away... Tracy

Hi my 9/21 sisters!!!! Yes, I am scared, but I'm also so relieved that it's finally going to happen. I've been trying to get approved for over 9 months. I have a lot of things to get in order, but I'm READY!!! I think it's normal to feel like that. I can barely keep my mind on work most of the time.

It's nice to see so many 21st people. I am sceduled for the 21st at UCLA. I am terrified. Whenever I start to talk about it with friends I start to cringe inside. Why couldn't I be normal? Why do I have to do this? Should I cancel? I see others ask the same thing so I hope that's normal, whatever normal is. I just hope that when it is all said and done I say to myself "Why didn't I do this sooner?" That is what I said after my Lasix Eye Surgery. I love reading the boards for the bad and the good it has helped me going. Good luck and take care, Karie

20 days everyone!!!! Still scared, excited too. Just want it to come and be over with. I want to be on the other side. I know I can do the "program" so to speak. it's just the actual surgical risks that have me frightened. Can we fast forward?
