Today was my surgery date.

AmberWaves · January 31, 2008

I couldn't go through with it. I feel really good about my decision because I know I made the right decision at this point in my life. I may change my mind later down the road but after all the feelings and emotions I've gone through over the past week I just couldn't do it. I had a panic attack sunday and after DH and I had a long LONG conversation well into the early morning I made the decision. I cancelled everything MOnday morning. I felt like I had a huge weight lifted off of me, so I know I made the right choice.

Anyways, I just wanted to tell ya'll that and I also want to tell everyone good luck with their new life. You are all truely an inspiration to me and I look forward to coming back and checking out everyones progress! Good luck everyone!

Wow, I am sure you had your reasons, and you have to be sure before you do something elective and life changing like this surgery. I applaud your strength to do it.

If you ever need advice, or to see how we are all doing a year from now, feel free to visit here or even contact me. Everyone knows when the time is right for them and you may feel it again or maybe never. Good Luck!!:tt1:

Amber, I can't imagine how hard these past few days have been for you. It takes a lot of strength to follow what you know is the best thing for you, especially after being so invested in this process!

You will always be a member of the New Year's knockouts. You were one of the first here! And if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have our logos! Good luck with everything and don't forget to pop in once and a while to check in and update us! Be well!

Amber, I didn't realize when I posted in another thread that you had cancelled your surgery. Again, I do understand your feelings, if I hadn't paid so much $$ for my plastic surgery, I know I would have cancelled, but now, I'm so glad I did it.

You're fortunate to have such a support team, not only your DH, but the folks here at LBT.

Hugs, you'll know when you're ready.

Hi Amber, You made the right choice for yourself. At a later date you might feel more comfortable having this surgery done. You are young and have a young family so I bet you were also giving that a lot of thought. You wouldn't be human if you weren't thinking about all the what ifs. Good luck to you. We might see you on here at a later time.
