I have a DATE

My name is Melissa180 and I have wls on nov 9th 2010.  I am so exited but very scared. I live 6 hr from the hospital and will be away from home. I am so scared of dying durning surgery  can anyone help me.... thanks

For me, I was so afraid of the surgery that for close to 10 years, I wouldn't even consider it.  Until my dr said if I don't, I will probably have a stroke.  The surgery seemed a lot safer than pretty much the certainty of having a stroke.  After that, I just didn't think about it.

take care

Dear Melissa,
I'm so excited for you. This is one amazing journey. My emotions where all over the place, excitement, fear, anxiety, embarrassment, any thing you can think of. I really think this is all normal.
I felt so afraid I'd die that I wrote notes to my husband, sons & friends. For me, I can say I do not have any regrets NOW. For the first weeks, everyday I woke up thinking "what have I done to myself". Express your fears, call them what they are, share with others. If you pray, pray and ask others to pray. If it's okay with you I'll pray for you.
Hugs~
Annie
