SO HOT AND COLD ,,,,

MY VSG IS TUESDAY ,, ONE MIN I AM SO SURE ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO , AND THE NEXT MIN I WANT TO CANCEL AND RUN AND HIDE ,,,,,,,HOW DO U GET THRU THIS    PLEASE HELP

Focus on why you need to do this! And how doing this will improve your life. That was my focus.

exactly what heardb said, to focus on why you are doing this.. I am doing it to be healthy, and to be around for my son.. (15 years old)..

I also think of all the things that I will be able to do after the surgery, that I have not been able to do for a LONG time.  For about 17 years.. Things like wearing a bathing suit again, or shorts,(hate my legs now), a big one in my support group the other day, going on a plane and not needing an extension.  I think of those.. I know what you mean though, my surgery is on May 2nd,and I know as it gets closer I will be scared.

But then I think about my son, and my family and that helps.. I also have people I can talk to from my support group, and they give me that little push.  The people I have met on OH, have helped a lot as well, sometimes just reading the posts has reminded me why I am doing this.

Good Luck

Susan

My surgery is tomorrow, and I feel you. But you've come this far, and you know this is the right thing for you.

Are there ways you can distract yourself? I'm on clear liquids and a wreck, so we're going to an animated movie this afternoon. My family is being incredibly supportive with my crazy, overstressed self.

My surgery is Tues also. Just wanted to say good luck and will be praying for you. These are normal feelings. Just remember the end result, a healthier you.
