Getting Nervous August 18th Date

[dkorn78 0]

Wow...my surgery is now only two days away. I was not nervous at all until about 10 minutes ago. I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life. This is probably the scariest thing that I've ever done. Change is always scary and this is going to be one big change.

Yes. It will be a big change but you have a lot to look forward to! I got to clean out my closet the other day for the first time and it felt so good! I had clothes that were swimming on me. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Hi..Just wanted to send you some encouragement and wish you the very best of luck. I do not have my date so I can only imagine how you feel..BUT..after reading WLS for Dummies the other day, I got nervous and really wondered (for a split second) if this was the right thing for me to do. It passed, as yours will, so stay focused on your new chapter in life. Good luck. I look foward to your reading your posts after surgery. :sad:

MrsWilson,

Thank you very much. It's so nice to have the website to go to when you need people who are going through the say thing as yourself. Good luck with everything.

i'm nervous right there with you! mine is the 19th. but i find solice knowing that i read and researched for a year before i made a decision. we'll be better for it. we're not healthy now, but we'll probably look back on this like many on this site and think of this surgery as a new lease on life! wish you well on the 18th! be positive! lisa6

Okay so tomorrow is my surgery. Today I am on full liquids and I had to drink a 10oz bottle of Magnesium Citrate. Only the label it said "Pleasing Lemony Flavor". There is nothing pleasing about the way that stuff tastes. YUCK! lol But I got it down. It took me an hour but I did it.

I'm getting excited. I just want to hurry up and get the surgery part over with so these butterflies will go away. lol

I was the same way. Try to keep yourself busy today and try not think about it. The next thing you know you'll be out of surgery walking around. I still think I'm dreaming sometimes because it went so fast. Keep us posted on your progress. Good Luck!

Get a good rest tonight and best wishes. You are on the right track to a new and positive change. It's been almost a year for me and 65 lbs less, the only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner. Enjoy and take it easy after the surgery.

I LOVE that you are saying Thursday is last minute. For me. it feels like forever. I was banded on the 5th of this month, and I am at the end of the liquid diet. Be prepared, its a tough time. I get my pass to mushies on Thursday at noon. You better believe we have lunch plans! OH, I can taste the cottage cheese now! Good luck! Thursday will just be a blur b4 you know it~
