Great idea Blue!!

Believe me, I'm a full mix of emotions!!!  My boyfriend even asked me this morning if I was going to back out of the surgery!  NO WAY am I backing out but I'm still a mix of emotions.

I think it's completely normal to be nervous about the surgery itself.  We all pick our surgeons with care and I'm sure we all have the utmost confidence in them but still....

I'm also nervouse about the live change that I'm making.  After this surgery I'll never eat the way I have for my entire life up to this point.  That is a GOOD thing but it's still a big change.

I keep going back to the reasons why I'm doing this and I'm still excited to start a new chapter in my life.

Sooooooooo long story short, no you are not alone!!!  :)

I'm right there with you all. I had my pre-op appt and was doing fine. Started getting a little nervous. Went to take care of my grandma (she's at in-home hospice and I take care of her in the afternoons). By the time I left her I was a complete wreck. Geesh - I bawled all the way home.

What if...
What if...

Most of the "what if's" had to do with getting sick down the road (yuh think that might be connected to caretaking for my grandma maybe?

I got home and talked to the hubby. "What if I get sick and wish I had my tummy back?"

He just looked at me that wonderful way that makes me want to go shove my head in the ground and said "Well...I thought the surgery was supposed to take AWAY most of the that. Isn't it supposed to make you healthier?"

God I love that man!!!!

I'm not sure if you all have noticed, as I just did yesterday, but there is a surgery support page on the home page.  If you scroll to the bottom you can view everyone who is having surgery in a 10 day window.  It shows their surgery type and date.  Then you can leave support comments on their page.  I would like to suggest that we all go there and support our fellow October Sleevers and encourage them to join us here in our Sexy Sleevers forum.  Thanks.
