Getting Nervous

Hi - I am beginning to get really nervous about my surgery.  Crazy how I waited so anxiously and now that the time is almost here (Monday) I am scared.  All sorts of thoughts going through my head.  My mortality, and life afterwards.  I have small kids at home so occassionally I think whether I am being responsible doing this.  It's surgery...it's a risk.  Then I give my head a shake and tell myself, I am doing this for me and for my life with my kids.  To have more quality and happiness with them. 
Ugh...so many thoughts.  Tell me you all went through this....

I can definitely relate to your fears.   I think most of us here can.  Yes there are risks associated with surgery but there are way more associated with obesity and co-morbidities. 

Keep thinking  positive thoughts and how you are going to be a much happier and healthier Mom with your kids in the near future.

look forward my dear its the best thing you can do for you and your little ones... hang on tight cuz your life is going to be so much better... i will be thinking of you, and will hope for a safe surgery.  keep your hear up, and be so thankful that your day has come.... i wish i would have been so brave at your age... i am so proud of you... tammy

Wishing you all the best on your surgery! I'll send you good thoughts on Monday!

I soo understand your thoughts.....I had a complete melt down in the operating room, started crying and hyperventilating, the nurse asked me why was I so upset, I replied "that is just hit me that I ate myself into an operating room".......I was ready to get up and walk out..........But then they gave me good drugs to knock me out, which I fought for a while, they told me to close my eyes and sleep and I told them "no thanks, I'm good, I close my eyes and you will cut me" (Dr. told me after).  I was right, they did LOL.  I am 5 weeks out felt great after day 4, no complications, no problems, back on track now!! You will do great.......my suggestion bring ear plugs so you can get some sleep, hospitals are soooo noisy!!
