Surgery date set !! YAY

[shawnm231]

I got up and went over to the University of Virginia today for an ultra sound of my gall bladder, a blood gas test , a chest x-ray, and the final consultant with my surgeon ! Well the appointment I had with my surgeon, ...... I was flippin flabbergasted when he set my surgery date for August 14. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't at all upset ,just shocked. I am scared to death all of the sudden, for some reason. I'm a total dare devil and usually not afraid of anything. Im also usually very optimistic and positive about everything. Oddly, all of the sudden I am terrified. I'm not doubting my decision at ALL. I know this is the right decision for me. I don't mean to sound stupid , and some of you may be saying "OH PLEASE" , but the approval and everything having to do with it ,went almost TOO easy. Listening to some of the stories on here I was expecting a horrific experience with the insurance company approving or denying me. For me ... not the case.Nothing goes this easy . Anyway , I feel so blessed to be able to vent on here. I'm so glad I joined this forum. Thanks

Congrats on having such a smooth process! Keep us updated on how things go. August 14th will be here very soon. And yes it is very normally to get nervous all the sudden. I had WLS (LapBand) and wasn't nervous at all until the day before and then I was so nervous I was practically shaking. But when I had my Lapband remove 6 weeks ago I was nervous for the surgery for about a month before the surgey.
