Surgery August 5th, getting cold feet!

 I started ready up on WLS last year and finally made the phone call to my Dr for a refereal It all happened within a couple of months and I was feeling the same as you. When I told my sister that I had lost 16lbs before surgery and wasn't even told that I had to she asked then why did I do it. And I thought about it and said because if she remembers correctly that I had lost 75lbs on Jenny Craig and gained it all back with a year then 8yrs later l lost 78lbs on Weigh****chers and also gained all back with a yr. So I then told her I know I could not do this on my own and needed the help of WLS. I am only 1 wk out but I have no regrets.

I needed WLS for my health. Losing weight is easy. Keeping it off is hard.

Now I am able to keep my weight under control.

What your experiencing is normal because WLS is a major game changer and worth it. Good luck.

I can totally feel you only I have 9days I'm nervous but content because I know it is going to change my life and I'm going to be well, healthy, energetic,happy, and not hungry.

Hi Amber, You are definatly not alone!  My surgery date is in September and I can totally relate to your post!  I feel like my mind is always giving me a hard time.  It is so great to see all the support from others who have had WLS and say it is the "best" decision they have made!  I think just reminding ourselves of the positive reasons we decided to get WLS is important.  I will be sending you good vibes on surgery day!  Keep us updated!  Thanks for sharing!!    

I understand.  My date is Aug 21st and I am 59. I have trust in. GOD and keep visualizing the pain gone from my knees.  I see me in the future weighing 80lbs less.  I try to.stay away from negative people.  Let's keep each other encouraged.  May God bless you.  Ethel

You can do it!!  Congratulations! 

Thank you all so much for the support and kind words! I'm solid on my decision now, I know it's the right one! I am however going to steer clear of the yellow jello  

You've received great answers here.  Yes, how you're feeling is completely normal but as stated here we second guess and feel we can do it on our own but a month down the road we see we are back at square one then wish we'd have gone ahead with it.   You will be so happy after your surgery.  Such a relief.  Thoughts and prayers for you tomorrow.  Take care.
