Surgery is coming up in a few days, and all this time I was cool and collected. To WACK!???? full emotional roller coaster . So nervous I'm not sleeping, and starting to think what am I doing? To I'm out of my bloody mind if I turn back, I've worked too hard. To calm, I don't like feeling out of control. ???? please tell me I'm not alone in this? Tried talking to family, but looked at me like I had a second head.

Perfectly normal! I almost even backed out the morning of the surgery! Now 8 months out I am down 126 lbs. If you made the logical decision to have this surgery after trying other options, than stay the course!

I had a momentary freak out the morning of my surgery and told my husband I wanted to go home. He said if I'd insisted, he would have taken me but we'd have had to figured out how to get the IVs out at that point and that could have been messy.

It's perfectly normal, and you'll be fine. Deep breaths and calm thoughts!

I would have to say this is fairly normal from what others have said. I was nervous to be on the other side, but I had pretty much decided and I was going through with it. I had my emotional roller coaster around making the decision, not sleeping, to overthinking about the options, to thinking I could do it with out the surgery, to I am out of my mind if I don't do this. To WHACK!! Cool and collected.

I say all this to say again, it is normal, and even in my opposite reaction, I still went through the roller coaster as well.

My freakout didn't happen until the morning after surgery, but at that point it was a little too late to change my mind! Of course I wouldn't change anything now. The last year has been incredibly eye opening and life changing. Just put your doubts behind you and move forward. It will be worth it. You have got this!

I did panic th few hrs before surgery but nearly three weeks on and losing two stone I think I made th right decision. Started going through my clothes this morning Great feelin t find that something now fits and others are already too big. You won't regret takin this decision, I only wish I had done it years ago xx

When I had the lapband done, I was sprinting into the hospital! I couldn't wait... all I could tell myself was this was a new life! I'm a little nervous about having half my stomach out though... My surgery isn't until March so I have plenty of time to worry. Good luck!
