Scared

[ChristmasJanet 74]

kkrose, The reason I named myself ChristmasJanet is because I too thought I would be having the surgery in December or at least early January, but then I freaked out and put off some of the evaluations and stalled out. I am hoping to have the surgery done in March. I should know more after I have my nutritionist visit on Monday. We are going to be brave now!

Dear I was questioning this up until the mask was going over my face on the OR table! It's normal and for a couple of weeks after you will say what the hell did I do?! But in the end as I sit here at goal and 6 pills down from what I had to take... I am a happy camper and you will be too. We are addicted to food. It's hard because you just can give it up but you can have a better relationship with it and you will!

Yes, without a doubt it is 110% normal! I was the same way and when I woke up from surgery within hours was like 'all this anxiety and worrying, so wasn't worth it'. It's totally normal, it is a life changing surgery. I am four months post op and it is the best thing I have ever done.

cejiogu, Thanks! That is awesome that you have been able to cut out some meds. You are so right! I am ready to be a happy camper too!

rensterness, Thanks! The positive responses are helping me to calm down. Glad you are feeling so good about your decision! It is very encouraging!

How are things? Did you get a date?

[ChristmasJanet 74]

kkrose Thanks for asking. I am doing well. I was supposed to have my surgery April 2, but I am postponing indefinitely for numerous reasons. on the upside, I am exercising and have been dropping a little on my own. When is your date? I see March 2014. Have you already had the surgery? I hope all goes really, really well for you!
