Am I the only one freaking out before surgery??

Stupid OH cut my reply. I was having some serious buyers remorse, but that went away(about the same time I was allowed to have solids again). During the losing phase, you will have to put in work. I'd even say in maintenance you have to put in more work. It's all manageable of course but try to relax regarding surgery. Remind yourself why you are doing it, and what you hope to achieve as a result. Get your game plan together, that will help ease your mind..... were saving room for you on the losers bench!

Thanks guys, for the reassurances!!! I know I will be ok.  I'm putting my big girl pants on now.  I had a brief breakdown at work, and I think I just needed to cry.  Now that I think about it, it may be because I'm nervous and stressed and can't eat!! That was always my go-to thing!! I made a list of pros and cons of doing this, and the pros list outweighed the cons by far.  I can do this.  I trust in God that he will be with me and my family on that day. 

by the way Ocham, you have done awesome!!!!

One more thing: in my most depressed/panicked/hysterical moments, I turned to OH. I can't tell you how many times I've come back from the ledge after reading posts from the vets! I do have a support group and WLS postop care team, but we meet monthly. With OH there is always someone on to motivate you, console you, reassure you, even reprimand you (with love of course). You don't have to go it alone! So keep on the boards, stay focused, be encouraged! ....and thank you! I'm rocking my sleeve!

What you are feeling is completely normal! I had all of those same doubts and was more scarde if something happened to me and my young children lost their mom and my husband his wife. But you have to believe things will be just fine, and they will! Your doing this to have a longer, better and healthier life! You will do just fine.....best of luck!

I'm in freak out mode - BIG TIME!!  I had a wonderful cruise to focus on and now I'm back from vacation and 15 days until surgery.  Plus, I just got denied for life insurance so that didn't make me feel very good.  I have been praying and I know this is the right decision.  No matter how I try to spin in my head...I've already tried everything else.  It will be good to be back reading OH and listening to the wise advice.  But just know you're not alone in freak out mode.

What you are feeling is very normal. I remember being terrified of the worst case scenario, but on the day of, non of that mattered, the process went by so fast there was no time for nerves. God is with you at all times. Please keep us posted. Good luck, Slim!!

I was in freak out mode the night before, I wrote the letters told my best friend where they were so I didn't freak my family out . I freaked out up till I had the appy meds put in my iv

Thanks guys, I do feel better tonight.  I was going to work tomorrow but I took it off to spend time getting things together and spend time with my family.  I just told my brothers today and some other folks and they have been so supportive and telling me it is all going to be OK, so I am feeling more comfortable.  Thank you so much for your responses.  This OH board ROCKS!! I will be back on asap to let you all know how I am doing.
