September 1st

My surgery is about a week away now........Is anyone else getting really nervous and having second thoughts?? I used to think about all the positive things....now all I can think about is really, really bad things......anyone else doing this?

I have surgery on the 1st too! Congratz on your upcoming date! I havent started those thoughts yet but I think it's mainly because I've consentrated so heavily on trying to make it through the 2 week pre-op liquid diet that I've been put on. I still find myself salivating over t.v. commercials and the intial impulse to grab some solid chewable food when I open the fridge. I'm sure I'll start thinking along those lines soon, beacuse it's quite normal. You'll be fine! You'll be back here in 2 weeks wondering what you did to yourself, then after about a month out you'll be all happy!

Hi Jessica - my surgery is Sept. 6 and I'm not having second thoughts because I know I don't have a choice if I want to continue to live --BUT I am nervous (BIG TIME). I just keep thinking about the end results and try not to concentrate on what it's going to take to get there. Good luck to you. I have added you to my prayer list.

hi my surgery is sep. 1st to. Yes I am nervous to ,but excited!!My doctor didnt put me on a liquid diet or anything Thank goodness!! I just keep telling myself that if I dont have it Then im really gambleing with my life. I just cant wait to get healthyer. May God be with us all!!

Thanks, everyone. I'm feeling alot better about it all...I went today for my pre-op/pre-admission thing and was able to talk to a nurse that had the surgery 8 months ago by the same doctor. She was very reassuring. We will all do well.....I'll be praying for all of you....thanks again!

I am only having gastric banding and I am nervous and having second thoughts - everyone else on this page is having RNY. We will all do fine - as long as you have faith in your surgeon and God, all will go well!!
