 Hello..  I share your worries and fears.  My surgery is also scheduled for Tuesday the 27th.  I'm not liking the changes alreay...  No caffine, etc.  Someone in me is rebelling a bit.  I believe life will be better once I get through the surgery and lose some weight.  I think I'm doing some grieving for the things I fear losing.

I wish us both luck!

You all are just being normal. Please pray and don't be so scared. This is the one of the best things I have ever done for me in my life. Surgery was not that bad at all for me. I would do it over again in a heart beat. Hang on for a wonderful journey.
God Bless

 I'm on for 3/27 also!  I know that the nerves can get to you.  I have been visualizing the procedure going smoothly, and my recovery being a breeze.  I believe that sending positive energy out into the universe reaps positive energy back.  I'll include you in my thoughts as well.  Hang in there!

I am having my first consult with my Dr on 3/27.  I understand how you all feel because I keep tossing it all back and forth in my mind.  Its a scary process to make such a drastic change.  Once upone a time I took a Franklin Covey class and there is a line that has always stuck with me "if you always do what you always did you will always get what you always got"... to me, I don't want to stay on this merry-go-round of weight loss, I am 53 years old and I don't want the next 20 years of my life to be like the last 20 years.  I need to do this for me and I think if we all focus on that they it won't be as scary.
