Surgery Dec 14

My surgery is scheduled for 12-14 I know deep down inside Im ready but some parts of me says Im not I have tried to make changes but the closer I get I feel like Im eating more! What is a poor soul to do?

Congratulations on the date, my DH's Bday!

Its the nerves nerves nerves, they make you eat more! Don't fret it'll be fine!

Thanks Stacey, I really needed that I know its my nerves but i still feel real nervous and I dont know if im eating because im bored or what! I need to see the doctor so I can get an idea of what i need to be doing now to prepare myself so i dont just sneak up and the date  is here ya know? any suggestions?

As of today, my best advice on preparing yourself is to not tell people you're getting surgery so they can't give you their 2nd cousins girlfriends aunts stepmothers horror story. I got one today and it really made  half nervous and half mad as hell.

Its hard enough to make a decision like this without people not respecting your decision when its taken years to make it in the first place.

 I agree with Stacey, for some reason, everyone tries to talk you out of this. You will be fine! 

congrats!! :)

I am so excited for you and will be joining you on the bench soon. I should have my surgery scheduled in the next 5 weeks or so...

YAY, congrats and HUGS!!!!

Best wishes!  I should get my date today, when I meet with my surgeon.  I'm actually hoping for 12/14, also.  It would work best for my schedule.

Well, hang in there.  WIthout a date, I haven't gotten too nervous, YET.  I'm sure I'll be in your shoes shortly.  Together, we can make it through!

 My surgery is due on 14th too but I am in London, England but my thoughts and prayers are with all my fellow sleevers in the US ....I am really nervous ...mainly about the genaral anaestetic but know that I have made the right decision to do this as I can't carry on the way I have been and I am totally looking forward to a new healthy life which is so close I can almost touch it .......when I am feeling low I read others stories on here and have a quick flick through the before and after pics and get huge inspiration that it won't be long before that will be me !! .....well us !! 
Good luck to all Dec sleevers ......all we have to lose is weight !

Me, too!!

I am also nervous but have been focusing on today.

I'm booked for RNY 12/8 and I've been finding by coming her to obesityhelp.com is helping me

I think connecting with other people in the same boat makes me feel less stressed out.

Take care.
