    Exclamation Kinda scared!

    Hey everyone, today I went in for my pre opt class and my surgery is Monday and well im just feeling a little scared!! It didn't help my husband asked me 5 times if I was "sure" I wanted to go forward with the surgery. I know he is just trying to help and make sure it's what I want but deep inside im a nervous wreck.... I have never had any surgeries before this and to say the least im just worried about everything!

    Hi Samantha,
    You are going to do great! I had my surgery 5 months ago and have lost 51 lbs, and my only regret is not doing it sooner. I am psyched to have lost 50lbs, and am looking forward to losing more. Surgery isn't a magic pill that magically makes the weight go away, but with the right attitude I'm sure you will hit your goal. Definitely use this forum, there are lots of people here with lots of info to share. Good luck!!!

    s_eli, being nervous and kind of afraid is feeling normal for some of us. I was nervous and a little afraid up until the night before surgery. I had never had surgery and more nervous about just having surgery and not what the surgery was for. I had surgery 8 months ago and I'm down 83 pounds. It is a learning process but I feel I've done exceptionally well in learning what works and what doesn't work. I've never had any plateaus that lasted more than a few days. Follow your doctor and nutritionist guidelines and you'll do fine.
