mal0712 101 Posted May 9, 2015 Omg I got my surgery date and approval the other day. I'm scheduled for may 18th! I have read so many post where people went through ranges of emotions judt over the approval and I really didn't understand until it happened to me what the big deal was. I went from happy, overly excited, worried, crying from fear, back to happy, worryi ng about my kids if I should die, back to happy again all in about 3 minutes lol. This journey truely is a roller coaster of emotions... and I haven't even had the surgery yet! I can't wait until my fears are behind me and I am able to truely start living the life I knoe I'm meant to live! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VDB 800 Posted May 9, 2015 Hi, I think the reality is that this is major surgery -- for me, 3 1/2 hours of surgery and a huge change to your innards! Feeling the way you are is a completely normal reaction to such a life changing event. I had surgery on April 21 and had almost exactly the same pre-op emotions. I re-did my will, wrote "read this after my death letters" to all my kids and wife, but also read the mortality rate for this surgery (very very low -- my clinic has never lost anyone!), and knew that I had tried all other options to lose weight, and this would dramatically extend my life span. You and all of us who have this surgery are very brave people! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
