It's normal to have jitters-just before. I did once I realized it was
really going to happen. I would do it all over in a heart beat. I'm six
months post op. It will all be okay. Prayers and thoughts are with you.
Blessings, Anita

We all go through the "what if" right before surgery. What
if...you don't have it, I don't know your situation but what if you don't?
My surgery was cancellled twice before I had it so by the 3rd time I had
lost the gitters and was just ready to get it over with, smile. I pray
that all goes well and that you will do fine. God bless.

I can sympathize with your jitters but here is a better question to aks
ourself than 'what if' What if I don't have this surgery and continue to
get fatter and fatter and end up dying because of all the bad stuff my body
takes on? Fat shorten our lives! Just do it and be thankful, HOn. You are
doing te right thing for yourself. Do it and LIVE!. Lyn

I completely understand. I'm at that stage. What if or Am I making the
right decisions. Write down a list advantages and disadvantages of your
weight, do the same for the surgery. Perhaps there you will find comfort.

For some reason I was not scared at all before my surgery. I was just so
excited at the thought of FINALLY being slim & healthy. I drove myself
to the hospital that morning (my husband & son were with me) and I was
singing with the radio as if I was going on vacation. My husband was
terrified but I wasn't scared at all. Maybe I should have been, but I just
wasn't.
Having this surgery has completely changed my life. I feel so much better
physically & mentally. I'm so thankful to God for being able to have
this surgery and with no complications.
Try not to worry too much. Stay focused on your future. Just say a prayer
brfore surgery and then relax. Good Luck!!!

With any risk is always that derned "what if" question...Ask
yourself this....What if you don't do it??? That's what I did and lost all
my nervousness! Seriously! The alternative was far worse than the risks in
my opinion and in my specific pain and illnesses! It was worth the
"what if"...You are gonna be just fine! I wish you much luck,
success, happiness and health! You are gonna be a tiny person in a year!
Doesn't that sound so awesome? I still cock my head sideways like a dog
that doesn't quite understand what is being said...when someone calls me
small or tiny or skinny!

i am 3 weeks past surgery. GOOD LUCK!!! the first few weeks are the
toughest, however it is a big decision. you will be fine. just choose
between looking back, or looking forward. which do you want to live. think
of the money you'll save on dr bills and test they always want to run on
you!! you will be fine. follow your heart!! to live or to live and enjoy
life!!!!

I'm 20 days post op. I want to be very honest with you. I was nervious your
always scared of the unknown. But let me tell you I was expecting to be in
pain like my insides were falling out I had NO Pain what so ever the only
soreness I felt was from the 5 1inch incisions that was made for the
surgery. Once again the incisions didn't hurt they were sore I didn't even
use pain medication in the hospital that was hooked right up to my IV. I
will tell you this my back hurt from laying on the operating table and
sitting in bed until they got me up to walk. You didn't say what you were
having done I had Gastric Bypass. Good Luck you'll be fine.
