Have second thoughts about my surgery on Tuesday
Hello everyone, my surgery is Tuesday, and up until Thursday, I was excited about the surgery and I have stuck to my liquid diet to the extreme. Now i am thinking maybe I should wait to get the surgery even though now is a good time far as money and work goes. But I just feel like maybe I should try one more diet. I don't know Im so confused. I am planning my wedding and studying for the bar exam so I am under a lot of stress. I wish I could make decisions easier. I also was thinking that since I don't have any heart problems, or diabetes or anything like that maybe I should wait. Any advice.
You are going to have to plug your ears from listening to yourself. You have made a decision, your just nervous. Know that if the diets didn't work before, this will work if you work it. Breathe....Breathe some more....and really think about your future once you have this done.
I am praying for you and hope that you are okay,
Tiffany :)

What you are feeling is completely normal. A few days before my surgery I was totally scared and thought I shouldn't do it. I siked myself into thinking I should try dieting one more time, knowing dam well I had been dieting for over 25 years and just got fatter and fatter.
I kept thinking about how bad my family would feel if I died in surgery and that made it so tough but I knew I would be ok but my mind was trying to talk me out of it.
You don't have any of the big health problems yet but if you don't get your weight under control it is literally just a matter of time.
It of course your choice but you know that you have dieted your weight up to the point where you need surgery and you have failed over and over again. You have to decide if you want to put your fears away and know that this surgery will change your life for the better.
I hope you make the right choice that is best for you.

I can say I honestly know how you feel . I initially went out for RNY in 2006 and I backed out halfway through, because mentally I was not ready. I decided this year to proceed with the surgery and now I am three weeks post op. Only you can make the decision,give it a lot of thought, and dont make decisions out of desperation. Unlike you I had major health issues, and had no choice but to proceed. I wish you the best in whatever your decision is.
There is not many that can tell you what to do but it left up to you. I just jumped in without a second thought didn't have all you had going on in my life (52) and wished I've done it at least 20 something years ago but never had of WLS by then. God Bless you with your decision.
This feeling is something a lot of posting have had. I bet if you find of what your wedding Picture would look like would help with your decisions. GOOD LUCK

Hello there, I'm not going to try and dismiss your thoughts/doubts but if you don't move forward and get this one hurdle out your way so you can move on with your life. What is one more diet going to help? You have probably tried a zillion and they all require self constraint, key. If I had self constriant every diet would have helped me out...lol Look, wut you are feeln is on normal. With me, a day before I kept thinking I was going to die on the table and leave my then 7 year old mother less...lol So wut you are feeling is so normal. Please don't allow your fears to beat you down and completely ruin a great opportunity and open the door to a life you have been waiting for 4 oh so long. Chop these fears up to undesriable foreplay(is there such a thing)..and keep this train movn.
GOOD LUCK AND SEE YA ON THE OTHER SIDE!
