Topic: RE: Complete and utter terror

Thanks...I keep going through these moments of "Thank goodness! I've waited so long" and then moments of "OH NO! I can't do this!" My skinny mother doesn't understand and I think if I had her support, it'd be much easier for me. I'm sure she'll feel differently when it's over and done.

I'll be thrilled to have a buddy. We'll cheer each other on!

Hello! I understand how you feel. My surgery is on the 29th and I am also nervous. I think it is a normal to have these feelings. But, just think how you will feel after the surgery when you can do what ever you feel like doing and what your daughter feels like you doing (I have a 7 & 4 yr old, so I understand their demands). Also, people over and over have told me that you do not care anymore about food. After the surgery, people say you start to eat to live instead of living to eat. I am sure everything will go well!

I left the office around 1430. If you were in the waiting room early you may have seen me leaving.

Topic: Complete and utter terror

What is WRONG with me???? I've been waiting for this for a year and a half and now that it's 48 hours away, I'm sick with fear and waffling back and forth about whether I should do this or not!

If I don't do it, I'll lose the chance not only to lose weight and be healthier, but the chance to be healthy enough to run and play with my daughter, the chance to get my frozen embryo out of cold storage and have another child, the chance to see what life is like without "fat" glasses.

The only thing I'm afraid of is losing the chance to eat what I want. I feel sooooo stupid! I mean, let's face it--the pros outweigh the cons by about a million miles.

Honestly, I'm beginning to think I'm most nervous about the stupid bowel prep tomorrow. I've never taken a laxative in my life. I'm pretty weird about bodily functions (not into bathroom humor, don't "share" my digestive issues in front of anyone--not even my husband of 15 years) so this is traumatic for me.

Sorry...I know I'm rambling, but I don't know who else to talk to right now. Thanks for listening!

That is awesome! I didn't see you but then my appt was @ 3:00 pm. Have you had all your test done? I still have to have a sleep study, gallbladder u/s and bloodwork. Hoping to get all that done next week so I can see Dr McDevitt again on the 25th so I can have surgery around the 5th of August. That's my goal but nothing in stone yet.
