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. 

We will be awesome .... It's just scary 

My surgery is April 11th also. Opti starts March 28th. Basically one more week of normal....and then a new normal begins! Excited, ready, nervous, all the emotions. 

It's nice to know I'm not alone with the crazy emotions :-).  Change is always scary 

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!!!!!

Thank you very important words to hear right now.... I'm actually losing sleep worrying :-( 

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!
