I AM REALLY GETTING SCARED......

So sorry I don't need to be a baby but I am really getting scared about the surgery.  Monday Nov 5th is my date.  I am trying to keep busy.  I have packed my bag, I have 4 more days of impact to drink.  I know I have Faith and trust in God but why am I feeling like this?  Please pray for me for my anxiety to lessen.  Thanks to everyone who has been supporting me through this.  I will try and get to bed and get a good nites sleep. in hopes tomorrow my day will be better.  Thank you for listening to me...vent

Hi Marilyn - The feelings you are having are all sooo common.  It's the fear of the unknown.  You will do just fine.  Stay focused on the end result and the next few days will fly by.  Before you know it, you are going to be healthy, happy and be able to do so much more then you can physically do now. HUGS, Christina

Dear Marilyn: I have to agree with Christina.....she is very wise. Keep your eyes on the end result and maybe make up a list of things that you will be able to do by next spring.  You will be AMAZED at how wonderful you will be feeling by then. Keep coming here to vent, it is the best place for it! Hopefully, you are feeling a bit better by now!

Marilyn, I think you are just being a normal human being.  Being nervous and yes scared is quite normal.  You are taking a big step that will majorly change your life.  But in a very positive way. So try and keep positive and focus on the future you.  Just think of next year and how good you will feel.  How healthy you will be.  How wonderful it will be not to be burdened by so much excess weight. And breathe!  Then smile.  What you are doing for yourself is a great gift and you desearve it.

Mar, you have a right to be scared. But that is normal.Look at me, I sailed right through and so will you. Just think of how you will look at this time next year.  Lisa  

Marilyn- I was a zombie up until I got my happy pill-you're soooooo normal.  Just keep your eyes on the prize girlfriend and you'll come through this like a knife through butter!  You'll be in my prayers-Hugs-Janet K
