Is this normal???

Ok I cried when the insurance denied me, I cried when they approved me, & now I am just crying and I dont know why other then I am scared.  I hate it!!!!!!!!  I am just sitting here and the tears won't quit.  Is this normal????  Help

Completely. I have been back and forth between tears most of this week and I'm 6 months out.

YES -  it is the emotions...........just let it come out !!     I'm so happy for your approval.  Isn't that a neat/scary feeling?   I didn't get nervous until the anesthesiologist came in to give me my morning margarita !!  then it was off to surgery !!  lol

Hi Heather, Don't be so hard on yourself! I have felt the same way off and on! I bet we are still going to feel like this for a little while. Am I doing the right thing, is it going to work  ect... My surgery is 06/17 so I know what you are saying! I bet most of the posters can tell us this is pretty normal. When I get this way I think of all the new things I will be able to do and the better health that I hope to achieve from this! Thanks goodness for all our new friends on here they will help us through all this! Keep you chin up and I will be praying for you!  Go do something fun this weekend. The time goes by really fast ask okiewolf  and Shelly Harris. I was watching their tickers and wow the surgerys just like came up so fast. It was crazy. I keep thinking june 17th is a long way away but you know the time is flying bye fast. Hang in there and God bless you!  We (YOU) can do this!                                                                                            Karla

I have been an emotional wreck myself.  I think it is because we don't have food to lean on.  I never thought I was an emotional eater before but I can't explain why things are making me cry now.  I really am a pretty strong girl.  I think this is a very emotional challenge we face and it is normal.  Congratulations on the approval.  You will do great and this will all be behind you in no time.

Heather honey, I had a day just like this about a week before my surgery. I had no idea exactly *why* I was crying, I just couldn't stop. I think it was every imaginable emotion coming through at once. Excitement, a bit of fear, happiness, confusion .... you name it, I was feeling it and just crying like a baby for an entire day. But, once it passed, I was very calm and at peace for surgery! It all came out in that one day. I bet that is what is happening with you, too. Bless you, this will pass and I bet it will be replaced by a peace that surpasses understanding. ; )

Hey I am a guy and the day before surgery I cried like a baby.  I cried even more when i found out my dad who is so negative and was 100% against this surgery told my mom he was coming to the hospital to be there for me too.  It's perfect normal hun, and its nothing to be ashamed of at all.

This is so normal and it continues for a while after surgery. I really don't understand I kept saying this is nuts I should be soo happy. (and I was/I am) so what is wrong. Nothing I guess it is normal.  Tressa

The only time I cried was when I had to fill out my last will, living will, and power ot attorney.  For me it was trying to figure out how my daughter was going to be taken care of.  I do know that when you diet it changes your hormones.  And once you have the surgery the weight loss will change your hormones drastically.  It is an emotional roller coster ride, but it will get better. Good luck to you
