albare1978 22 Posted June 19, 2016 I've been a ball of emotions today. I'm so nervous and scared. I've been crying and everything. I'm sure it's normal but I hate feeling this way. My oldest is in the Navy and called today to wish me luck and I bawled. We are dropping off our other two to my mom's in a little bit. I know I will cry then. I'm a worrier and can't stop thinking of what could go wrong. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingebinge 10 Posted June 20, 2016 I would cry as much as you can! Get it out now. Go through the emotional Rollercoaster and try to wrap your head around the surgery. You're doing it to better your life! It's going to go well and you are strong enough to handle anything!! I have been told by one of my friends that had it done that she was extremely emotional before her surgery. ..so emotional they had second thoughts of doing it! She finally held it together and had to convince them this is what she really wanted. Wouldn't want anything like that to happen to you. Stay strong and remember why you are doing this hun. Best of luck we all now you'll do wonderfully!!! Sending support Sent from my SM-N910W8 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christinamo7 4,042 Posted June 20, 2016 I was a bundle of nerves and didn't sleep much the night before surgery. I am a stress cleaner though, so the bathroom was nice and tidy for my return home. Wishing you all the best and I look forward to hearing from y'all when you're on the other side of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
