It Just Hit Me..

[PoohSoup0803 45]

My surgery is in six days. All of my pre-op visits are tomorrow morning. And all of a sudden, it just hit me. This is the craziest thing I've ever done to myself! Although it is to better improve my health, this is still an elective surgery... Has anyone else just all of a sudden been hit with the realization of how huge this decision is? I'm not saying I'm having any second thoughts, because I am not. In fact I'm more excited than I think I've ever been in my whole life. I am just saying, wow. It just hit me, I'm having a life-changing surgery in six days! Craaaaazy!!!

It has hit me at times but I don't think it really has hit me yet! It is a crazy good thing we have decided to do for ourselves! I know most of us are givers so this is a big step to do something for ourselves! :-) good luck!

your nerves are acting up, totally normal and understandable - this is a big deal - you will be starting a new life

journey into sleeveland - where "most" people are created = - and are on the successful road to health, happiness

"elective" surgery - this is HUGE - cutting your tummy up this is major surgery if i ever heard

unfortunately, it isn't treated that way by many

many insurance companies still don't cover - and many many "normal" people still don't understand the importance behind the WLS (health benefits et al) the story, "taking the easy way out" vanity reasons losing the weight

glad you are not having 2nd thoughts, more and more excited as time goes by

good for you

congrats

Yes it is a bit crazy but most of all brave. I'm 9 mos out 90 lbs lighter and sometimes it still hits me and I can't believe I I actually made the decision, had the surgery and have lost so much weight.

I did have a moment of nerves and second thoughts before surgery. On my first scheduled date there was a huge emergency and since my surgery was elective i was bumped off the surgery schedule after waiting an entire

Day with out eating or drinking to go into surgery. It was nerve racking and made me doubt whether I was making the right choice, but I was rescheduled for the following week, placed as the first surgery for the day and that was that. Hardest but best choice of my life!

I know how you are feeling! I started my pre-op diet this week and it made it very tangible. I like how you said " craziest thing I've ever done to myself" I keep thinking - omg what am I doing??!

My surgery is tomorrow and its definitely becoming very real! No second thoughts, but just deep breaths when i think of how big a decision this is. I'm very excited about the future, and happy to be making this change, but that doesn't eliminate all of the fear going into this. Everyone else's success stories really help though. I agree....Craaazy!

[PoohSoup0803 45]

Wow, tomorrow!?! Exciting/Scary! Good luck! You will do great!

Hey there,

My surgery is this Monday December 10 and I completely understand what you are feeling. I'm excited and can't wait to get it done, but I'm also just starting to feel the enormity of what is about to happen.

Good luck & best wishes

I'm the 10th as well and I think it really just sank in what I'm doing. I know it's good thing as I have a lot of issues just starting bc of my weight. I've been pretty lucky thus far having no comorbidities. And I'm just so ready to be done with this weight battle.

Lots of luck to you.
