Anyone else emotional/depressed b4 surgery??

My surgery is in a couple of weeks (the 12th) and I feel like hybernating all the time. Every spare moment I have I want to sleep. It's like I want to just sleep until the surgery comes... like my life begins then, and I just want the date to be here already. I go through phases of feeling like crying, but then I get really excited ... just crazy ups and downs. I'm a mess *lol* Anyone else??

Jump on the boat girl!!!!! And we will ride these waves together!!!! I know what your feeling I am not wanting to sleep all the time but all the other yes I cry then I am happy as hell and ready to do this and then i cry again but the crying isnt a bad thing my crying is that for many years I never thought I would be healthy have a chance at this surgery or anything and now I am less then a month from surgery!!! You will be great girl lets just call this the WLS Waveride!!!!! we will ride it through together!!! Bobbie Jo

Hey Sara, I dont want to sleep all the time but I can relate to the rest of your emotions, and its ok, just roll with them it'l be over before you know it and you'll have new emotions to feel and a new life...you're going to be ok and when you need someone to talk to we'll be here for you....Melody

Wow, You would have thought I was writing the post. (except for sleeping). I am having a hard time sleeping. I cry at the drop of a hat. Very emotional. From very excited to terrified to happy to "what ".. Everyone says it is normal..I have 4 days till surgery...I am a mess too...

I've been the same way, just read my profile, I have 5 days left as my surgery is this Friday.

Sara: I'm the day after you, and yes, I'm feeling most of what you're feeling. It's a life-changing decision that we have made, which will unearth many emotions, even grief. I'm sure this is why the psychologist visit(s) is a requirement for us, to be sure we are prepared for the very drastic changes that we will go through, not only physically, but mentally as well. But hey, it can only get better, right? And I can not wait! I hope you have supportive family & friends to see you through these crazy couple of weeks before the surgery. My co-workers are so excited for me that they are hugging on me every day! Goof-balls - but I love 'em :-D Take care and keep in touch. ~~ KimmyGee

Sara, my surgery is on the 11th, and I understand the ups and downs, for me it is sleepless nights! Wish I could find the "off" button to my head sometimes! What activities do you enjoy? Take some short walks in the sunshine we still have for a while longer - for some reason that elevates endorphins in your brain, and you'll feel lighter and happier (honest!) and it will be good for you. Throw on some upbeat music, and make your body move Don't waste another moment of these last days with negative emotions floating around you - focus on the excitement, and take captive the down thoughts. If ya gotta crawl into bed, take some clothing catalogs with you, and enjoy the fact that very soon you will be able to choose anything you want to wear! You'll be so busy drooling over cute clothes you won't have time to be depressed! (what was your first clue that I am a shopaholic?? LOL) My thoughts and prayers will be with you, Sara - Hang in there!

HI Sara, I am soooo right there with you sister! I am soooo tired all the time, and then i am bouncing off the walls! I think that alot of it is because i have been so sick and tired of the way my life has been for the past few years, that now that i see the light at the end of the tunnel, and i just don't know what to do with myself... we are gonna get through this! lori

Emotional for sure.....I still face some negative feedback from my sister and one of my daughters. Concern I guess and it works on my psyche....By the way.....You are in augusta.....I am in martinez.....I am 9 days after you....By my date you will be giving me encouraging comments I am sure....
