Mine is October 1st!! Congratulations on your date! I have, until now, been anxious and yet calm. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow, so now I am both excited and nervous. My life as I know it now will come to a sudden halt in tomorrow and even more so in 2 weeks. Kind of a daunting thought, but it is true. While there is the confidence all will go well, there is always that nagging question, "What if it doesn't for some reason?"
There is also, for me, the element of grieving over loss of foods. Intellectually, I know it's for the best, it's what is right, and it's ultimately what I want. I pray I am one of the lucky ones whose appetite decreases so that I don't feel the loss as severely as I fear I might.
Good luck with your surgery!! I will be praying for you!
