I have been trying to get approved for weight loss surgery for quite some time. Now that I have a firm surgery date for 2 weeks away, I'm freaking out! I find myself crying and full of anxiety, but yet I KNOW I made the right decision. I guess I'm nervous about being the fact that I have hid behind the fat girl persona and jokes for the last 14 years and now I'm not going to be that girl. I promise, I am a very stable individual and have confidence in my future. But for now, I just might need a xanax...lol! Anybody else go through this?

Thanks y'all! Sadly, I live in a small town (going 2 hrs away for surgery) so there are very few I can talk with locally. I just started becoming active in the VSG community so i look fwd to sharing and caring with you all Sonia, I would love to join the FB group, my email is alabasterbox772@cox.net. I think you're right Terry, this kind of feels like a grieving process of sorts. I know everything will be okay, but for the next 2 weeks I need to remain focused on the end goal! Thank goodness my PC doc knows me and wrote me a decent rx for anxiety meds....guess it's time to pull them out

Dannipo, can you add me to the FB group? alabasterbox772@cox.net Thanks!

Finally, someone else with the same date as me!

Hello! I just got my date of September 20th! I start a no/low carb diet on Friday the 6th. I am SO nervous/anxious. I am using Dr Paul Macik and will be at Atlanta Northside Hospital.
