Finally got my date; and already want to run!

[dlopez978 19]

After 2 years of waiting and prepping....I finally get my date of surgery! I was confident, I was prepared....until the moment I got the call from the surgeons office! Now I feel nauseous...nervous...dont want to eat...I just want to cry! To make matters worse, anger is now kicking in...im angry at myself for having to result to this! Cmon now....I worked so hard to get here and now I want to call it quits!? I dont know whats wrong with me....wth!? Not sure if im just nervous....but this feeling sucks! This is what I have been waiting for, and now not so sure! Has anyone been through this? If so...how did you cope with it?

I could've wrote this! I don't know how I'm coping, not well really. I have anxiety normally so this is putting it off the charts. I'm scheduled for 10/3 and I'm freaking out. But the more I read here the better I feel. Lots of people have great outcomes and I want that for me too. We will do ok, I figure as long as the pain meds keep my pain manageable and keep my nausea under control I'll be ok. I'm not quite as worried about the eating part after. I just want to survive the surgery. When is your date?

I felt all of those emotions too when I got the call. I had to do some serious soul searching and my husband helped me reason things out. I know that this is what is best for me. I am very good at losing weight, but I'm not good at keeping it off. This surgery is going to give me my life back. I can't wait for the 12th to get here. I hope you are able to work through your emotions and come to peace with whatever decision you make.

Totally feeling the same way. I have 2 kids and I am feeling the weight of my actions on my shoulders. The are submitting everything to insurance tomorrow and I should be getting an October surgery date. So anxiety ridden.

I hear you! Good luck, did you get the date yet?

[sixbuttons 102]

I'm right there! I'm going September 17th - 3 days away! I am absolutely freaking out! I am SCARED to death! I'm so nervous! I keep thinking I'm going to die, or not lose weight, or I'll have serious complications and what will my little boy without me?! It's horrendous! I just keep trying to think that if I don't do it, I'm really not going to have very long with my son.

I am right there with you. Thinking the same thoughts. It is such a horrible feeling. Lets try and think positive thoughts.
