my surgery is scheduled for the 30th and I'm with you...really starting to get nervous and wonder if I'm doing the right thing. 
I just try to read post-op patients stories for encouragment.

Sounds just what I am thinking!  My pre-op is 21st and surgery the 28th.  I am really getting nervous, scared, wondering if I am totally crazy to be doing this, etc.  Definitely second guessing  myself!  I bet we all do this!  You are a few days before me, I will definitely say a few prayers for you on your day.  I know I am doing the right thing, even though it will be hard at first.  I bet we will all do just fine!

What you are feeling is normal. It's "cold feet" essentially. I did just fine up until my pre-op appt with my surgeon when I had to start signing consent forms...and all of a sudden, my hands were clammy and I was sooo scared and nervous...ugh, I just can't even tell you how nervous I was! However; I never second guessed my decision to have this done...even though I was scared, I knew it was the right thing. After that appt, I said to myself "This is it. Lets do it!" and haven't looked back since.

My surgery was on 9/14 and even that morning, my doctor said to me that it had been a while since he had a patient that was as anxious for this as I was! It was the BEST decision I ever made for myself and despite the nerves...I don't think I'll ever look back and say that I regret anything about this.

Psyche yourself up for this! Get yourself in the frame of mind that says "LET'S DO THIS!" and start thinking about what things are going to be like for you in just one year from now. Get excited about this amazing transformation that you are about to undertake! Be proud of yourself for saying "I'm WORTH this!". Best of luck Shannon! You'll do great!!

I'm scheduled for the same day and now that its so close I am feeling a bit nervous as well.  I think when you get down to being days away from the surgery the reality of it sinks in!  You'll definitely be in my prayers!  We'll be fine.. better than fine!

My surgery is on the 22nd....just two days away and I'm sort of nervous. I just keep reading everything on this site hoping I'll be able to get through this.
Wish you luck and try to remember that even the first few pounds off will feel good.

I think just about everybody has that reaction. Second guessing everything. I know I have. My surgery is scheduled for the 30th and I'm getting "cold feet" too, but we will do fine. It helps to know that these feelings are totally normal. Your post has helped me as well, Thanks.
