Now I'm Scared!

[erveeen 6]

I was so relieved reading these posts. Thank you! I have been a nervous worrier for the past two weeks. I have to say that being on a liquid diet has been a challenge, but I haven't cheated once. It's crazy for me to think that I've come this far to give up now. The fear of surgery is very real for me since I've never been under the knife before. But I keep reaffirming my goals for the future, and I'm not willing to give up on myself so easily. At this point my friends and family must be sick of me talking about the surgery on Mon 6/18. So now my attitude is, "get it over with already!". My counselor told me that courage and fear go together and I think it's helped ease my worries. But on Monday morning I hope I feel this confident. Any suggestions?

I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling nervous- mine is set for June 28th and I've started my pre op diet! I was excited, and nervous, but still excited. . . Until yesterday- I had my yearly ob/gyn appt and my doctor was shocked that I was doing this. I am a self payer, and my BMi is at 35. He told me to reconsider, and it was hard driving home having a different doctor not being "excited" about my decision. I came home and discussed it with my husband and family. Thank God they are very supportive, and we know others who have done lap band and have been successful! I kept going back and forth, but have decided this is something I NEED to do! I had gestational diabetes and most of my maternal relatives are diabetic. I'm not there yet, but I do not want to get there either. . . I know this is a great decision I'm taking, but a tough one as well! Good luck to everyone!!
