Surgery Day

It's my turn to have this post! Surgery first thing in the morning. I'm so freaking nervous, I have tried talking myself out of doing it a billion times today. I always read other posts about people doing the same thing, It must be normal.. because I have wanted surgery for ten years now. So scared of the unknown, but can't wait at the same time. I really thank you all for helping answer my questions along the way.. and hope to return the favor to newbies one day. Make some room on that losers bench for me!

try to relax if you have a surgeon you trust all will be fine , this is a safe surgery , as long as you don't hide any medical info from your surgeon

You can do this.  I did my best to talk myself out of the surgery for a few weeks before my date.  It didn't work, and I'm SO happy it didn't.  I'm 4 weeks out today and feel so good.  I have energy, and you would never know I had the surgery unless you saw my scars.  My only regret is the same as so many of us here: I wish I could have done this 10 years ago.  

Good luck to you and your family.  Please post as soon as you feel like it.  

Good luck and congratulations!  I'll be watching for your post-op posts!!

That's awesome. My surgery is tomorrow too. I cant wait. Its been a long wait. Good luck in your journey.

If you didn't have pre-surgery jitters, I'd be very worried. It's major surgery -- you should have at least a few jitters. After the surgery, let us know as soon as you feel able, that you're okay and how you're feeling.

Sending warm thoughts and prayers your way for a safe uneventful surgery tomorrow. My simple advice is to go forward, say a prayer, and leave it in God's hands. Everything you feel is totally normal and I felt all of what you feel now, but I proceeded anyhow and I have had ZERO issues or complications. Oh and I did I mention I have lost 100 pounds in 6 months! Looking forward to following your success as well.

Congrats!  Remember, the first few days can be rough but it WILL get better!  

I went through the same thing too.  But you have asked and done all you can and this time tomorrow you will be on the losers bench.  All the very best and can't wait to hear your journey over the next month's. ....tomorrow is the beginning!
