I was confident in my decision and most of the time I was in eager anticipation but there were times when I had a flood of doubts. I had failed at every other attempt to get my weight under control and was worried that I would go through all this and blow it. I loved food...but it had a hold on me that made me a prisoner in my own body. Seven months and 140 pounds later and I am ecstatic to be living life again. The best decision I ever made and I don't have a single regret. You will be fine. All the best tomorrow and as you begin the next phase of this incredible journey! Kim

This is normal -- IMO.
I didn't sleep the night before, worried my alarm would be set for pm instead of am etc. Heard a horror story about some woman who missed her surgery because she was in the washroom when they called her name --- unbelievable! Will I screw this up? Won't know if I don't try. Eventually I decided that there was no room or time for fear. Fear wasn't going to serve me, so somehow I set it aside and plunged forward. I was so tired getting in the cab at the crack of dawn - I was too tired to be fearful. Slept a ton after surgery and I am now 3 weeks post op. The only thing I fear now is more constipation!
Try your best -- read your manual over and over when you get home and check in here when you aren't sure of something. I have found this site to be great support.
