Im from southern Cali. My date is Aug 4th. Im excited. Mostly nervous and a little scared to death. Good luck to everyone❤️

I really thought i wanted this but the closer i get to surgery date ( Aug 4th) the more im questioning if this is safe for me. I saw my psych doc yesterday and he changed my meds a little bit to prepare for my smaller stomach. He gave me a mood stabilizer which is also an anti seizure med because i guess there is a possibility of seisures w my meds if my electrolytes are off! One more thing to worry about! I keep telling myself to just do the best that i can do and leave the rest to God but im still really unsure if this is the right thung. Does God want me to rearrange my stomach? I know i sound like a huge baby but im hoping i can bear my soul with you guys without judgement. I really thought i wanted this but now....?

Marie Car- im right there with you. We will do fine. We wont be healthy fat people for long. It will catch up to us eventually.

Thanks for sharing. Ill be praying for you. Good luck and God Bless!

Had my last weigh in and class. Scared the crap out of me and i told them i was backing out. Since then ive had a chacge of heart and im gonna go for it. Im feelingore at peace in my heart. I hope im making the right decision. Right or wrong- its on!

I know just how you feel. I keep thinking of all the things that can go wrong but then i tell myself- those things arent supposed to happen and i have a good surgeon who will take good care of me with Gods help. I have a three hr class to go to tomorrow. Kind of excited for it????

Tomorrow i go to a 3 hr class. Im not sure what its about but im guessing ill get all the info ill need for post op- what to eat (drink) and so forth. Im taking my mom with me so she can help me in case i forget something or dont write it down. Im excited to get all the info. Next is my pre op appointment and then - surgery!

Dub- youre so right!

@weighting2befree- congrats on your surgery and weight loss. Its good for me to hear about people like you who are doing so well. Thanks!❤️

@@nervous nana. At least i know im not the only one feeling this way

@@The Candidate. Thanks for your encouraging words. Good luck on your upcoming surgery. Let me know how it goes❤️

Thank you Amylou. That made me cry( in a good way). I needed some encouragement! - Jo

@cdesimone. I know just how you feel. Same here!

Oh nevermind. I just reread it. How much weight do you have to lose? I have about 150. Im trying not to think about the things that can go wrong but its in the back of my head all the time. Trying to focus on the good stuff. Hope you are too????

I would love that. Im having RNY. WHAT ABOUT YOU?

@pinkpeonies1. Im Aug 4 th too! It cant come soon enough!

I know! @choosehope. Im sure it will be here before i know it but im anxious for it to be now! I still have a three hour class to take on the 10th- i guess its the nutrition class since i havent had one of those yet. Im just trying to stay busy but i find myself on here alot. Trying to get as much info as passible before its my turn. Good luck with all your tests and stuff. I hope your paperwork goes through fast. It seemed like mine took forever. I was hoping to have had the surgery by now , but it didnt happen that way. Keep in touch and ill let you know how my class goes. Thanks for responding!????
