Great News.. But Nervous and scared

Well I am excited to say that I have my surgery date... It is this Tuesday the 7th. I am soooooooooooooo nervous and scared!!! I am so ready to be healthy and lose this weight. But yet, I dont want to lose too much wieght and be grossly skinny either. I wanted to get lap band, but my insurance only covered me for laproscopic gastric bypass. I just want to live a normal life without anby complications or extra illnesses or doctor visits. Please keep me in all of your prayers for this coming Tuesday. Thanks and I will keep in touch after all is done.

That is awesome!!! Congratulations and God Bless! YOu will be thrilled! Theresa

Thank you so much Theresa... I hope all goes well too.

Congrats Darlene on getting a date.. and so soon. WTG... You will be a loser before you know it. Best of luck to you and I will keep you in my prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. Shawn M.

Wow your day is so close soon you will be on the losers bench. You will be in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Get ready for the ride of your life. Hugs Debbie M

Darlene, I wanted to wish you well with your upcoming surgery. I hope that all goes well and that you are up and out and about real soon. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Good Luck! Janice

Darlene, you'll do great. Don't worry about getting too skinny, that won't happen. You will get to a healty weight and you will be able to maintain it if you follow the program. I am now off my diabetes medications which I never thought would happen. I have so much more energy now and my clothing can be bought in normal stores now. It's a wonderful life after surgery.

Being nervous is completely normal. Just relax and remember to tell yourself that this is the best thing you have ever done for YOURSELF. I had my surgery August 28th, Lap RNY, just like you are having and things have gone wonderful. There have been a few ups and downs but I wouldn't change it for the world. I weighed my self today and I'm down 58#'s. This could have never happened without the surgery. I'm off all blood pressure meds and I feel great and you will too. Keep your head up! Stacey B
