How did you deal with anxiety/excitement

I swear I may be losing my mind. Some days I'm so excited and can't believe its only a couple weeks til surgery and others I'm terrified and can't believe what I've got myself into.

I really am not worried about complications because I can get through that. I'm just so worried that something awful will happen and I'll never see my little man or my husband again.

Is this normal to think so morbidly? I really want to start this new chapter in my life but I can't shake the scared feeling.

Yes! the anxiety is very normal. I prayed alot right before my surgery. The night before, I had the most incredable feeling of peace. I wish that feeling of peace for you. Wendy

This is totally normal.  I had the same peace come over me when I got to the hospital the morning of my surgery.  Things happened so fast when I got there I didn't have time to be scared.  Good luck to you!

Sweetie you arent losing your mind..
I would get excited and then scared and on and on.
I did have complications after surgery but it wasnt from the surgery it was due to the fact i was so huge and couldnt walk...
I wanted to back out of the surgery i was so scared and i said to my hubby i dont want anyone else raising my children and his reply is then have the surgery or someone will be because the doctor had given me 6 mths to a year to live...
I get mad a t myself because i didnt do it alot sooner and i feel i cheated my boys out of so much.
But it is normal honey and i will tell you it was so worth everything cause i have my life back and its better than before...

Congrats ...your completely normal lol.  I had a lot of anxiety the closer I got to surgery also.  I kept my feeling stuffed because I didn't want to freak out my husband (who was already slightly freaked out).  If you feel you need some reassurance from Dr Jon's office call and ask for Holly she will be glad to talk to you.  She is not only the therapist but has also had RNY surgery so she gets it.  You have free counceling for life at the office so use it.
