April, Congrats on getting a date. You are normal to be nervous! I think all of us post-ops were nervous at some time or another. Hang in there - all will be well. Keep reading and researching in the meantime and keep posting so we can get to know you better. God bless, Andrea

Congrats on your date April!!! Your gonna go great...it is normal to be nervous right now! Hey I don't live that far from you so if ya have any questions and would like to talk just let me know OK...my email is [email protected]. Have a great day, Janet Schmidt

yes it is very normal to be nervous...but don't let that get to you.....talk to us on here go to the local support group meetings till you have your surgery. think positive that is the best thing you can do............lynda

Boy, can I relate! My surgery is May 11th. I haven't been too nervous except after I saw the dietician. I kinda freaked and wondered what the heck I was doing! But I got back on course. Just remember, if it were easy to lose wt and keep it off, we wouldn't be needing surgery to lose it. Think to the future and how much healthier we will be and think about all those cute clothes we will be able to wear! Hang in there! We'll make it with a little help from our friends here on the board! Lyn

Your nerves are NERVOUSNESS ... you're mistaken! *SMILE* They are nerves of EXCITEMENT because you know you are on your way to SUCCESS for the first time! Okay - so maybe I lied a smidge - like the others said we were ALL nervous. I swear if I hadn't been so afraid my bare nekked behind would show as I fled down the hallway - I woulda hopped off that gurney and been 'outta there' in a heartbeat that morning. But fortunately modesty won over - and I stayed put. I'm now 117 pounds and you will be soon!
