Hi everyone! I don't really know what to think at the moment.. My surgery was scheduled for May 23rd. I could have had it sooner but were moving mid April with a baby and i just want to be as ready as I can for this. When she said approved I was excited for 2 mins minutes and then fear and panic set in which was weird because I wanted this so bad and now I'm here and I feeling like canceling. Im doing this for me but also for my son because I think if I do this my fiancé will as well and he has 200lbs to lose. I want to be able to do whatever we want as a family an not have weight be a factor. I don't want our child to have the fat parents at school but most importantly I want my child to have both his parents healthy and for a very very long time. I'm nervous because we are foodies and our life and family revolve around food but enough is enough and I'm taking the first step. I've dieted and gained it back so many times I'm tired of all of it. I'm having surgery with dr.laguna in Minneapolis, mn. Just wanted to say hi everyone!! Sorry if I rambled I'm so scared and excited!!

Good for the both of you.. My hubby and I had surgery 1 week apart. Its been fabulous. He is my biggest supporter and I am his.. we wanted to be healthy.. he was on medication for high blood pressure and diabetes.. he is now off both.. I was not on any.. we are both down 70lbs since dec 20th for me and dec 27th for him.. best thing Ive ever done.. and I too was scared to death.. Im like what the heck did I just do? and after surgery.. Im like ok I know what I did.. I just made things better for myself and my hubby... we are older too.. so not an easy thing for us to do.. we are both early 50s.. very early.. but we are doing great and we are happy.. so welcome to the site and keep us updated on yours and your hubbys journey.. you will learn lots of things here on this site.. helpful things and recipes.. and others experiences.. congrats on your surgery.

I think that is very normal. Kind of like buyers remorse. I asked myself what I had done for about 2 weeks after my revision. Had a few little breakdowns along the way. Then I realized I had done the best thing I could have for ME. From posts I have read on this site that I should cancel this feeling is completely normal. Go for it!!! Best of luck to you.
