Im getting COLD FEET --nervous

[huligoo 75]

My surgery date is 6/26/13

I just started my pre op diet wednesday....I am diabetic on all sorts of meds...I feel faint and weak...and light headed...

I keep thinking...can I do this? Is this right for me? Will my diabetes and low thyroid go away?

I wanna new chance on life!

Relax, don't over think the whole thing. The surgery is a breeze. As for your medical problems, that is all up to your doctor. I don't see any down side to increase your health. Most people say they would never change their decision. Once I went though it myself I must agree, wish I would have done it ealier. I never even thought of a surgery like this until my doctor suggested it,, it only took me a few days to decide this what I want and I never turned back. Good luck to you and wish you well.

I haven't taken metformin since surgery on 5/28 and my blood sugar has been consistently lower than 106 (and usually double digits).

You should read this: The pre-op diet is NOT a punishment ... it's an opportunity.
