Just had my surgery date moved to July 1st - I'm SOOOOO scared. I've become irrationally nervous and I don't seem to be able to calm my anxiety. I wish I could also get excited, but, all I feel is fear! anyone else freaking out?

I think some fear is normal. Your life is changing. It's a positive change though. It will be hard work for all of us and there will be bumps along the way but remember the end goal is a healthier, happier you! I'm scared too, but when I think about not having to worry about all the weight related health problems because in choosing to make a healthy change in my life it puts a little of my fear to the back of my mind.

Thanks Mooregirl! You are absolutely right. I had a neighbour take my son to an activity this afternoon with her son (they are both 4) as I was exhausted and didn't feel up to it. I look forward to having more physical and emotional energy for him!

Thanks Nicky! We should all keep in touch throughout our journey. We will do great!!

As much as I am nervous/scared about having this life-changing surgery, I'm MORE scared to NOT have it. I know that if I just keep doing what I'm doing, I'm headed down a road of medical problems and shorter lifespan.

Remembering what I'll be reclaiming after this surgery (my health, better quality of life in the short term and the long term) really helps turn those fears into peace and strength.

I feel the same way. I'm nervous about the surgery, but I'm also anxious to start my new healthy lifestyle.
