HELP...I'm terrified!!

So I am two days away from surgery and I am terrified! I keep thinking the worst and yet I;m strangely excited at the same time. I worry that I will miss food and will be tempted to cheat. I worry I will lose my hair. I worry I won't even wake up from the surgery. I think I've thought about calling to cancel my surgery at least 100 times today. Is this normal? Please help!!

Yes, It is completely 100% normal.  Everyone goes through this.  You will be fine. 

You are going through all the right emotions right now lol..... But, you're going to be totally fine.  Take a deep breath and sip some water he he.

wow, this si very normal. I just had my surgery on the 12th, and Il tell you I was actually suprised when I woke up in recovery. I was so scared of dying I just couldnt belive it was all over with and nothing had happened. Honestly it was so much better than I ever imagined. The pain was very minimul I had no complications. It suprises me even now.I thought Id be i  so much pain. To be honest with you I am going through I guess you would call it food withdrawl. All I can say is get alot of support behind you, and seek counseling if neccesary. Honestly only you can make the final descion, but for me i knew I could never lose teh weight, much less keep it off without this surgery.  I would just tell you to ask yourself if you werenot afraid what would you do? Its a scary time right before surgery but you will bee through it very soon. Best wishes.

Is it normal....ummm, heck yeah! i was nervous right up until I got to the hospital, then, an overwhelming peace with my decision. I actually got so relaxed during the two hour holding pattern before my surgery that I fell asleep - and that was before they gave me any drugs! If you believe in God, put your faith in him, or if you don't put your faith in whatever it is you find strength in. And oh yeah, everyone gets nervous about whether they will find some way to screw it up, I think it is natural, afterall if we were successful with weight loss in the past, we wouldn't be seeking WLS in the first place. so I guess those past failures have us in doubting mindframe from the start. Yeah, you will go through a period of food mourning, but it will pass, and then before you know it you will get back to bein able to eat just about whatever you want, just less of it. Good luck, we'll be pulling for you...

I am so glad I found this site. Everyone here has been so supportive and helpful. I APPRECIATE IT ALL! I'm looking forward to meeting you all on the loser's bench!
