So here I sit, finishing the last 2 hours of the last day of work before surgery. Am I freaking out??? OF COURSE! I know I'm not the first (obviously) or the last to go through this but my head is going bonkers telling me that this surgery will be a waste of my time.

"This can't possibly be end the 27 year struggle with weight. THere is no way that this surgery will get me to a normal body weight. I will only lose half of the weight that I want to (that is if I lose at all)."

These are the things revolving around in my head. I want so badly to look at this surgery as the first day of the rest of my life. The life that I have always wanted to have. The life that says that I can go to Cedar POint and ride any ride I want to with no fear that my wide butt won't fit in the seat. The life that says that I can go the mall and find something that I have been wanting to wear that is in style instead of buying whatever will fit my super sized body.

I want nothing more than to shout for joy and praise God that this day is finally almost here........................................................................................................................ So why do I want to cry???

What you are feeling is perfectly normal. Be excited, be happy, be joyful. Tomorrow is your day!

My surgery is on Mon. Aug. 22 and I feel the EXACT same way as you feel. I am scared, happy, excited, and yet I want to cry.....I think maybe in my case, it is because NO ONE in my family seems to really understand what I have been and AM going through...I feel so alone sometimes.....and that makes me sad! )I guess that is why I come to this site so often) Good luck to you....please keep in touch!

Kimberlina, I so relate to your comments about going to Cedar Point and being able to ride any ride. My family tends to go there at least once a year, and I was so upset I couldn't ride the Millenium Force although I had been able to the year before. It was one of the big reasons I decided to finally go through with my surgery. It is also why my ticker is of a rollercoaster.

Good luck on your surgery! We can do this! Go August All Stars!

Maybe you will only lose half the weight you want to lose. Not everyone reaches their goal weight. I think it's healthy to acknowledge that's a possibility. I just wouldn't beat yourself up over that possibility.

I don't know. I cried a lot AFTER my surgery. Go figure. It wasn't pain either.
