ok as a few of you know I am scheduled for surgery on March 15th! I am so terrified. I'm having 2nd thoughts. Yes I was excited at first, But it really HIT ME! Some of my friends say well maybe your not ready. I dunno! This is all I think about...SIGH Im just so scared of it all! IS this normal to be this scared? I cry a lot!I know a ton of people who had a lot of complications. And so forth. I'm scared that I will be worse coming out of it all then going in. Any inspiration or prayers will help! Just needed to get that out... thank you Kim

Hi Kim, I was excited about my surgery. Then about 2 weeks before the big day I became TERRIFIED!!! It's completely normal. If you weren't afraid then something would be wrong. What I did, as a born again believer, I of course believe in the healing power of the holy spirit. I asked for prayer from the believers on this board, and on the Christianity board. I also asked for prayer from my church. I then got down on my knees and spent half of the night in ernest prayer. After that I had such a peace about the whole procedure. I wasn't fearful again. This is the best thing that you can do for your health. Just because you are afraid, doesn't mean you are not ready for this. You do however have to be sure you have done all of your research, and make sure that this is what you want. I had all of the doubts too. I came to the conclusion that I was going to die without the surgery. For me it was well worth all of the risks. I am glad I had the surgery. I have no regrets~ This surgery saved my life. You will be in my prayers. God bless you, Annette

thank you! I really needed to hear that! and thank you for all your prayers! THEY WILL HELP! K~

I am scheduled for Feb. 21st. I have days where I am saying "are you sure........you don't have bad health just overweight what if I don't make it or if I do have complications...." then there are days that I am soooo excited to see what this new life is going to bring. Not only for looking and feeling healthier, but for my self esteem and confidence. I think it is normal to feel the way you are feeling.........remember, only you can do this for yourself. No one else can tell you to do it or not do it........make a list of all the reasons why you need or want this done......and then make a list of the reasons why you are scared.......and also list the health issues you are having. Pray, Pray and Pray some more......Good luck and sending you good vibes for a GREAT outcome! Kristin from Owosso
