T - 11 days until Opti
Like many others I am very stressed about my surgery. I am afraid to do it and I'm afraid not to.... I want this but fear is very powerful! I read about complications, I understand them and I understand the % or risk I just need this part to be over.... Roll on April 13th .... Ugh
I feel fortunate to have my procedure in April because Summer is coming and it's a great time for getting moving and clean eating. Lots of fresh food etc.
I am feeling the same way as my surgery is April 11. Can't believe it's almost here never thought and felt like it was ever going to come.. My fear is I haven't had major surgery in long time. When I was 2 had my appendix out can't really remember that. Beside that I had my tonsil out. So my fear is fear of unknown don't know how it will feel and what to expect.. But my main fear right now is opti!! But I am getting somewhat excited.
Referral received at hrrh Nov6/14, orientation March23/15, surgery April 11/16
I remember being where you guys are right now. Excited, scared to death yet strangely also filled such hope and a long list of dreams.
I remember thinking if I could just lose enough weight to improve my quality of life...but I had no idea in this amount of time, I'd be where I am right now. I'm just 8 mths in ....1lb from my original goal of 150....down 109 lbs. Size 6
Life if different..I am different ....and it feels beyond amazing
Hang in there guys....I'm here to tell you ............it's all worth it!!!!!

Hi! I'm in the same boat - but I have a tad longer to wait, May 6th. Have you considered starting a small support page on FB where we can help each other out? I'd love to join (or create) the page if we're interested.
Every night I rock my 2 year old to sleep, and a small part of me wonders if I'll make it through surgery to do so again. I know if I don't have the surgery I won't be here to dance with him at his wedding, and yet I worry that if I do have the surgery something will go wrong and I won't get to kiss my two toddlers again. I have no one to say that to - so writing it down felt good. Thank you for this post!
