Scared and excited all at the same time

So I'm halfway through my 6 month pre-op stuff and it's time to contact the surgeon.  The problem is that I'm both scared and excited and haven't called to make the appointment yet.  Anyone else experience similar feelings when it came to the point of scheduling with the surgeon?

Oh yeah Jan, you will have those emotions right up to and including the day of surgery......it's normal!   Make that call now.

hi jan!! i never felt that way at all....i wanted this WLS and wanted it now!!! i guess its normal to feel the way you do...giving up your friend food does that to people. after you have the WLS you will ask yourself WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS SOONER??? thats my ONLY regret...waiting so long in my life to have this done....so think it over and make that call...you won't regret it i promise.

hugs

I think you're both right, I just need to pick up the phone and call, and acknowledge my feelings about the whole thing.  Just take a few deep breaths and call!!!!

I am afraid of giving up my friend, food.

now listen up...you WILL still be able to eat food just not as much of it and i promise you it will be enough for what little bit you CAN eat after having this WLS....its scarey i know but hey look at how many of us were food addicts and we did it!!! you can too!!! now make that call and get on the road to a better healthier new you!!!! ;)

hugs

Pick up the phone sweetie....you won't be sorry!!!!

Hugs....connie d

Thanks folks.  I'll bring the information to work tomorrow and make the call!!!!!

Hope you make the call soon.  Food is not our true friend at all, that is just a fantasy.  We have to learn to eat to live not live to eat.

JUST DO IT GIRL!!!!!!! You have worked hard to get to this point! Once I made up my mind it was full steam ahead! I backed out once (3 years ago) and have regretted it ever since! I could have used those 3 extra "skinny" years ...

BEST WISHES & CONGRATS!!!!!!!
