Topic: RE: Starting to get nervous

I have the same surgery date and have to say that you are reading my mind. I have been considering it off and on for several years now and this year, when I was diagnosed with diabetes I said enough was enough and made the commitment. I had to do the 6 month dr's visits before insurance would approve. I have been completely absolutely sure that this is what I wanted to do and the best chance for a healthy life - until about 2 hours ago - then I started thinking the same thing... "is there another way". I also know so many people who have done well. Just nervous that I could be the one in 1000 that has a major complication, that I will not be able to change my eating post op.......

I love the "keep your eye of the prize" thought - it will help me when I start doubting!

Michelle, I just goy my surgery date today and its the 17th as well. You said it right - I am excited, scared..... One minute I am ecstatic, the next minute I ask "why am I doing this?" (thank God the whys are quickly stomped out by the excitement.

Are you on a liquid diet pre- op? I do not have any special diet for the pre-op. I am also a littel confused at the post op first few weeks but I will get that all cleared up next week when I meet with the nurse practitioner!

Good luck to you on your journey! I feel like I am actually going to start my life over again!
