I'm rather embarrassed to admit that I am really nervous I am having my first meeting with my surgeon tomorrow and I really wasn't expecting this much anxiety. I though I had worked through it all  while I was waiting for the approval from my insurance company... and then as I was taking my time turning in my packet... I've been approved since September. Has anyone else had this... ummm... I don't know how to describe it other than indecisiveness...???

Don't be embarrassed this whole journey is like a roller coaster with ups and downs twist and turns what you are feeling is normal as myself i'm at the end as my surgery is coming  on dec. 10 and I still fill those feelings

so just go to support groups and it will help you with your feeling

I agree your feelings are going to be all over the place, even after surgery. You are completely normal. Surgery is scary and so is change. Hang in there and remind yourself about all of the positive changes that are going to take place. Also spend a lot of time in the before and after gallery. It will keep your motivation high! Some of them are very humorous too!

Your feelings are totally normal. 
As Bebaugh (Elizabeth) knows I came on here when I got the news of my surgery date totally freaked.  I would cry one minute and be thrilled the next.  I was scared, anxious, excited and didn't know how to act or what to think.  I doubted myself too.  When doubt crept up I reminded myself that nothing else had produced the results I wanted for my life and I wasn't going to allow my 'feelings' to get in the way of a logical decision I made with my doctors help.
and boy am I ever glad I took that position with myself.  I allowed myself to feel all the feelings, cry, scream.........and then reminded myself that this is what I was going to do....' so get over it Deb'.

That was my tact...............and before and after photos sometimes took hours of my day.

Good Luck

Debbie
