Pre Surgical Jitters

Like many of the posts I have read, we get those second thoughts, wondering if we are doing the right thing. My surgery is November 6th and the jitters are there. I also am excited that I will be on the bench soon and on my way to a healthier life. Thanks for all the kind words and wonderful informative profiles. Please think of me on Nov. 6th and say a prayer or 2. Thanks, Sheila

Good luck to you Sheila. You're gonna do great. It's normal to have the jitters. You'll be starting your new life. Thoughts and prayers out to you! Take care, Carey

Sheila, I hear you!! My surgery is in 5 weeks and I am very excited but I am sure that as I get closer the anxiety will set in. Keep it positive and soon we will both be on the losers bench. I'll be praying for you that day. Karen

THAT IS ONE THING I NEVER HAD...SECOND THOUGHTS!!! I WANTED THIS WLS AND FOUGHT HARD FOR IT!!! MY TIME CAME AND I WAS READY....I WAS COOL AS A CUCUMBER THEY SAID....KEEP READING PROFILES LOOKING AT THE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS AND YOU WILL BE OK....WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU IF YOU NEED US!!! HUGS JUDY

I never gave a second thought about whether I wanted the surgery or not, but lately some people at work have not been so nice about it and have been making negative comments. That makes me upset. I shouldn't let them bother me. If it wasn't so close to surgery and being a little tender hearted, I probably wouldn't have been so upset. Thanks for all the encouragement from here though. I guess we cannot expect others to understand who are not involved in or never have had MO issues or those who have not gone this road. Thanks again, Sheila

DON'T LET THE NAY SAYERS UPSET YOU!!!! JUST CONCENTRATE ON YOURSELF AND SHOW THEM THAT YOU DID THE RIGHT THING!!!!! AFTER YOU HAVE YOUR SURGERY AND THE WEIGHT STARTS COMING OFF AND YOU HAVE ALL THIS NEW FOUND ENERGY THEY WILL BE AMAZED!!!! YOU WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY THEN!!!! GOOD LUCK!!! HUGS JUDY
