Topic: RE: November 5th
I'm pretty sure wicked nerves come with the territory. I have been going through the same thing. Sometimes I'm excited and completely certain this is what I want, but others I'm terrified of the surgery and complications and all that. You are definitely not alone!
The way I'm dealing with it is coming to the realization that even though there are possible complications with this surgery, my future as a morbidly obese person is set. Without losing weight, at some point something is going to happen (heart attack, stroke, cancer, etc.). To beat it all, until then I'm going to be living a life where I can't get around very well, can't function in society without fear of ridicule, and am most likely only be able to live a fraction of the life I really want to.
This is a serious, life-changing decision we're making, but we're making it because we are tired of not living our lives to the fullest.
Good luck on your surgery!

Hi all
I'm scheduled for Nov. 16 and went last evening for my group diatician meeting. I'm sorry but this is scaring the stuffing out of me. I'm trying to take this one day at a time. I'm OK one day and excited for a 2nd chance at life, but the next day I wake up and think AM I NUTS to do this?
Right now the Doctor is saying get all my food, meds, place to sleep (found out I can't lay down easily) so we're bringing a recliner into my bedroom and elevating it so I can get up. I like some of the liquid protien drinks and hate the vitamins. ugh
Is anyone else going through this UP/DOWN mood?
A President who was once in LOT'S of trouble said the only way he could get through tourmoil and doubt was to live in a daily "day-tight" compartment, (meaning: he only thought of one thing at a time and no racing ahead thinking about tomorrow). So I'm now into my "day-tight" compartments.
Suggestions????? Comments ?????

I have a tentative date of November 12th. I do my psych and NUT visit on Tuesday October 16th, then upper GI scope on Friday October 19th. That's all I have to do and they will schedule me - talked to the surgeon's admin yesterday and she has me penciled in for Nov. 12th. It will be here before I know it!
