What's wrong with me? I should be more nervous or something! I read on here that people are crying and not sleeping good...and I'm not doing that. I definitely need the surgery. I've been overweight since the 1st grade, all the way through high school, my twenties , thirties....and now my forties.

Don't get me wrong, I am nervous; but I think I am nervous about the unknown. Like....Hell week, being very weak, getting wrinkles in my face, and throwing up (I am a big baby about throwing up). I don't like the though of someone cutting my stomach and intestines up and I dread the gas pain (I remember that from having my gallbladder out several ears ago)....BUT I just feel like something is wrong because I'm not as nervous and worried as much as some others are.

I was going to say maybe I am not as upset and nervous because I have been fat all my life and I finally see light at the end of the tunnel...but that is the majority of us on this board and it isn't just unique to me.

Was anyone else like this? Is there anyone else who is scheduled soon who is like I am??? Maybe I am just weird!!!

I'm Monday too, not nervous, JUST READY! I got 3 kids and a hubby, so I can't stop thinking of what I need to be doing for them to get ready for my surgery. My only emotion about this lately is boredom with the liquid diet. I'm am running out of creative ideas and seem to be "drinking", lol, the same things over and over. I hope it gets better after surgery, I don't want the "boredom" to make me think I'm craving things I shouldn't have. ...Just waiting to get this over and done with...By the way, lol, I find myself a little weird also, lol! Good luck Monday!

You are not weird, I wasn’t nervous about it; I was a nervous wreck when I was waiting for approval but after I got approved no nerves. The only time I got a little nervous was the day of the surgery I got to the hospital and was ok; I got in the elevator to go where you check in and my knees did get a little wobbly but once the doors open I was fine. My mom started crying and even that didn’t break me. I think I had read a lot and I felt ready. I didn’t have much pain and I did throw up the second week but it wasn’t as bad as when it happened before surgery. I have also been big since I was a toddler so I think I was ready to start again. Good luck to you, and may your recovery be as painless as mine.

I was much more nervous during the appeals process.....waiting for the answers etc. My Mom is a wreck enough for anyone. Oh well, I am really not worried. I feel prepared, thanks to this website and my confidence in my surgeon! Thanks all for being here....lol and "keep coming back"

Man I am so glad someone else feels the same way as I do. I was just going to keep the thought to myself. I was nervous until I was approved and now I'm not at all besides the unknown of course. I am sure I will get a little nervous once Tuesday rolls around. Good luck to ya'll, I am sure you will do perfect

I have been very nervous today. The stuff we have to drink to "clean us out" has made me sick all day. I am wondering if I am doing the right thing. Doubting my judgement....heck even doubting my doctors judgement! I hope I'm not this nervous tomorrow. Prayers for us all....may God keep you in his care.
