Getting Anxious

Tomorrow I go for the informational meeting with Dr. Nighbert and his staff .And all and all i'm very excited.... my family has mixed emotions but they basically support my decision... i've started my journal today....and I have to admit I cried more than I wrote... Remembering the past can sometimes be painful but actually a good form of therapy. I feel this great sense of anxiety and nervousness . Just wondering if everyone feels this as they move thru the process from considering surgery to actually starting the process of getting insurance approval and a surgery date? I have No doubts about the WLS being the right choice.. I know that is what it is gonna take for me to get to the losing side.... Debbie

Debra, about 6 months ago I stood right where you are and thought the same things you are thinking. I am sitting writting this reply to you now a post-op 3 days. There were times I wondered if I had made the right decision. Heck even since I have been home, I got dehydrated and wondered why I have done this to myself. At your lowest times things like that pop up in your head. But all passes in time and if you are like me ....you just want to be healthy! Remember to just get every tidbit of info that you can. Ask every question that you may have ...you need to be sure that all your questions are fully answered and then you will have more of a 'good' feeling about your decision. Every step is a step closer. Rebecca
