I'm NOT losing weight. I'm getting RID of it. I have NO intentions of finding it AGAIN!!!
It's all good. Remember that you have worked hard to get this tool in place. The doctors have taken precautions to ensure that you are able to undergo this procedure safely. Breathe in, breathe out...can't wait to hear how you are doing afterwards.
My only regret about this was not doing it 10 years earlier...lol

You will do great. I'm saving a spot on the loser's bench for both of you ladies, right beside me. You've got this, and by next Monday you will have so much to be thankful for.

Take a deep breath and let it out. You've gotten this far. Just remember, once you are in OR you only have to do one thing. Sleep. That's it. It's the Docs, nurses and anesthesiologists that have the work to do. And they've done thing loads of times. You'll be fine! And when you wake up, you'll wonder what you were so nervous about.
Now, if you are still panicked, go find a good joke book, or a good comedy movie. Laughing always makes you feel better!

Hey
A little panic is good....it means you are normal!!!! I started to wonder if I was making the right choice, I had no existing health problems other than my weight. I was scared to death that I would get some hideous complication........but I haven't.
I can tell you what I did get though...... I got ME back!!! The ME I lost a long time ago. The one buried under mindless eating and self loathing. Its only been 12 weeks.... 56pds later....I'm liking ME again!!! Some parts of this process are tough, but anything in life worth having is. I don't have a single regret!!!! You will do great!!!
When you have those freak out moments.... just say to yourself " I am worth it, and im gonna make it happen !!"
