Hard to believe...

It's hard for me to believe that all this is really happening... Tomorrow I have my surgery at 8:30am and I've felt relatively calm about it, and still do, until I think about my boys (18 & 19) and my husband. They are my life, we are so very close and the idea that on the fluke chance.... well, everytime I think of it I break down sobbing. I guess partially because I am electing to have this surgery, am "only" 110 lbs. overweight with minor co-morbidities. They love me as I am so why can't I love myself and not do this??? I know I am at very high risk for diabetes, heart attack, etc., have tried every weight loss method atleast once and know this could be the best thing I have ever done for myself, plus I have the very best in surgeons and hospital....but I am so scared...I've started them letters but then stop because I get too upset and my mind gets all confused anyway. Words of wisdom anyone?? I thnak all of you for the wonderful support up to this point. You and this website are the greatest. Thanks for listening...

What you are feeling is completely normal. Most people feel the same way prior to surgery. Keep a positive attitude that everything will go well. I'll be praying that your surgery goes well and that you have a quick recovery. Brook
