Your having a major case of pre-surgery jitters. Perfectly normal.

I can undersand your fear of traveling so far along, but you know deep down you'll be ok. 
It's those darn   "what ifs".

You know we're headed for a deadly heart attack very soon. This is going to be a life saving surgery for us.  It is a risk, and if anything happens, we wouldn't have had long anyway.  The way I see it, we will succeed without any problems and we'll have bought back the years we threw away.

You will be fine!!! This is our chance for a long healthy happy life.

These emotions are all very normal. I've had tears too. They come and go, but I know I'm doing the right thing.

I just wanted you to know you aren't alone.

Send a few my way as I am on the 5th.  I leave for Utica in a few minutes.  Pats tomorrow.

The IV will be fine, just a pin ***** don't look while they are doing it.  Then it's in before you can panic!!!

LOL, I hear ya, I started a thread a few weeks ago warning not to read them.  But, curiosity gets the best of us.
I read about the same lady.  I have had a sleep study to check for it.   If you snore, just mention it to them so they'll know you may have undiagnosed apnea.

Also, if you noticed, there not to many from 2007 and non from 2008. That's got to be a good sign. 
We all know the risks, and we know how best to avoid them.
Stop smoking, try to lose a few pounds (lap has less infection vs open)  get up and walk after surgery. Following the rules will not only help us succeed, but can save our lives.

Do you know anyone who has had WLS?  I think just about everyone does. Now how many people do you know who have died from it?  I'm guessing none.  These surgeons really know what they're doing.

You'll be fine..... we'll all be fine.

Deep breaths now.

Hugs
