I am about 5 weeks out pre op and am feeling waves of anxiety. Not always - just unexpectedly - did anyone else go through this? I am usually in pretty good control. I am going to get the RNY with Dr. Moazzez.

No help here, I was not nervous or anything, sorta like a robot going through the motions. For me it all happened so fast, I didn't have time to think about it or try and talk myself out of it. I was ready and could not wait to try and become what I call normal.

I had met another guy that had the surgery and after meeting him, it was no question that this was the right thing to do.

You will find that it is a great thing.

I have anxiety problems as it is.  I have learned to embrace it and use it for my andvantage.  I think clearer and work harder.  But I do have my tipping point and some wonderful meds to help me in those rare instances.  But during mypro op stage right before surgery, it was really bad.  But I made it through. I actually have found my anxiety has gotten better since surgery!!

This happens to lots of folks preop!  It was not an issue for me personally.  I went into this ready and having a firm belief that God would be by my side and He said it was the right time to do this.  I had tried to have it done years prior and was denied and did not fight.  When I tried this time I was approved in a very short time and in my heart I knew it would all be OK.  I am here if you need to talk to vent or have any questions.  The butterflies and anxiety are perfectly normal!

Thanks to all of you - I researched this for quite a bit and am ready. I am usually pretty cool and it takes a lot to rock me, so I was surprised with the anxiety.
