Anyone else want to put their life "on hold" while waiting?

Hi everyone, I have a feeling that many people go through this, but I just need a little encouragement. I am scheduled to see the surgeon for the first time on Aug. 9th. I want this surgery so badly. I feel like I want to just put my life on hold until I can have this surgery. I feel like I don't want to do some things this summer because I feel in my head that it will be so much better when I lose weight. For example, friends asked me to go away with them for a weekend. I really, really don't want to go, I feel like I will be able to live again AFTER the surgery. My husband is not understanding these feelings that I am having. When I told him why I didnt want to go, he looked upset and said it "didn't make any sense". There have been a few things so far that I could have done, but didn't, I just feel like I want to wait until I lose some weight. There is a little part of me that feels I'm being silly and just wishing away about 6 months of my life, but unfortunately its how I feel. Thans for letting me "vent" ;-) Kelly
