Am I insane??????

HEllo Christine Thank you for your reply. I think the first time I went to the memorial page it was out of morbid curiosity. Recently I have no clue why I went there. I want to say a reality check. I have complete faith in Dr Johnson, he has been Dr O' Malleys assistant for years and he is the Cheif of Surgery and very advanced in Lap surgery. I guess sometimes I get caught up in things and let my mind do the what if's.. I made my desicion and my family is 100% behind me and I have God to walk me through the surgery. When it actually happens. Thank you again!!!!!!!! thin wishes and WLS dreams Tammy

Tammy Hello and Welcome, I was reading your question and I can assure you, the things you are feeling are NORMAL. If you did not have those feelings, then I would question if what your doing was the right thing for you. I went to your profile and I read some of it......Dr Nicholes is a great Dr. I had him for my physc eval......and if he did not think you were ready and willing to be a candidate for the surgery, you would not be as far as you are at this moment. I remember all to well all the feelings I had the MONTHS before my big day.....and the days went on and time got closer, I looked back at the LONGGGGGGG road I had to take to get here, and I knew in my heart of hearts, it WAS the best thing I could do. As for your Dr., I am assuming you are going to Highland?? I had Dr. OMalley, wonderful man.HOwever I met his new Dr also.....the Chief of Staff of Highland. I can assure you, if he DID NOT know what he was doing, he would NOT be in that office, so pleaseeeeee dont 2nd guess the Dr. He is a great man and will take care of you perfectly. The hospital specailty is gastric bypass, soooo feel SAFE in your choice of a Dr there........they have a WONDERFUL staff of Dr's at Highland. If you have any questions or want to talk, please feel free to email me, I can answer any questions you want..........just know Tammy, your not on this raod alone, and all that your feeling IS normal, if you were not having these feelings, I would have to wonder if you were gicing this enough thought. Take Care and your in my prayers Brenny

Hello Brenny Thank you for your reply. I will have my WLS at Highland. Dr Johnson was Dr OMalleys assisitant. He is now going to be the one operating also with other assisting. I hope that makes sense. I am very pleased so far with Highland and the staff there. Mary in Dr J's office is a sweetheart. I will see Dr Nichlos soon, Tammy in his office is great. Thank you for the great words. I will probably email you once a I have a date with many questions and what i should bring to the hospital. Thank you again. thin wishes and WLS dreams Tammy

Tammy I am so with you!!! My surgery is Monday and I know exactly what your saying. I too have read the memorial page and cried my eyes out. I have 3 small children 1,2,&5, and that is all I think about is not coming home to them and my wonderful husband. This has been a long awaited surgery for me as well. And I often wonder why am I doing this to myself. I guess I am saying that is has to be totally normal. A phase perhaps. Hang in there and just pray about your surgery and then let it go in God's hands. That is what I am so trying to do. Best Wishes to you email me anytime DonnaMarie

Hello DonnaMarie Congrat on Monday, I will be praying for a uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. Thank you and I can understand where you are coming from. My kids are my world. I know the decision we all have made is the right one for us. We all deserve to be healthy, strong, full of energy, good looking, newly skinny people!!!. Please keep me informed on you and your recovery. Thanks again Thin wishes and WLS dreams Tammy
