hello...i'm nervous
Hi everyone! I have been on the website several times in the last couple of months but haven't posted until now. I am trying to muddle through the last stages of my pre-op stuff. I have had to reschedule a couple of times due to work committments and I am thinking I'm never going to be able to have this surgery.
I get excited then I start to worry. My husband is a worrywart but he won't say anything either. I'm not nervous about my surgeon but the vast change in my body. I know if I don't do this surgery I will die at a young age due to complications from obesity.
My final appointment is with the psychiatrist on July 29th. Any words of encouragement?
Thanks.
Debbie

Debbie, You're going through completely normal feelings now. I had the same ones and so has all the rest of obese people. My nurse told me that if I wasn't nervous she would wonder about me because everyone gets on edge.The waiting is the hardest part but soon you will be on the losing side and this will be history. Trust me, take these last few days and reflect on your past and then get a vision of your skinnier, healthier future and your day will be here. I feel so much better 13 months later and I can't wait to hear from you after your first weigh-in. Susy
i was queen of nervous. but i succesfully had my lap band surgery on july 11 2003. i layed on the table in pre-op with tears rolling down my cheeks. the only reason is beacause i was NERVOUS of everything. but now its 4 days later and i feel pretty good. i am proud of myself. i am on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and thats kinda crappy. it's only crappy because i am used to eating however much of whatever i want. now that the surgery is over i am only nervous of how bad my weight could have got if i would have never got the surgery. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
