Pre-surgical jitters
Well, it's starting...lol. My stomach is doing flip flops over tomorrow. I just got the call from the hospital that I need to be there at 6am and the actual procedure will be at 8am. My poor husband is having anxiety attacks over it. However, I am ready for a new life and change. I've worked hard to drop some weight presurg and have cut out ALL soda. Wish me luck and I'll see you guys on the loser's bench!

I'd think you were odd if you didn't have any jitters at all. Good luck! See you on the other side.

Good luck, see you on the other side. Don't forget to post and let us know how you are.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life!!
Good Luck! Prayers will be being sent your way! You will do great! I just had my surgery on last Thursday. I live in Alaska, but had to go to Seattle for the procedure, got out of the hospital on Friday, post op on Monday, and was home in Alaska Monday early evening. My prayer is for yours to go as smoothly as mine!! Best of luck :)

Good luck! I remember being super nervous too, but everything worked out great!

You are going to do fine. My wife is flipping out also. I have to get up at 3:00Am to drive to Bellevue Washington to be there at 6:20. They say it will take 3 hours on the table. I bet this time next year you will be so happy you did this, I know I am going to be. 
Do document your journey in pictures and be sure to take your measurements today if you haven't. In my experience when the weight loss was slower was when I saw the inches melt away quicker.
Also I would like to suggest the pre-op picture you took (or are taking today) that the outfit you wear that you keep it and try it on occassionally. It really brings it all in perspective as to where you started and how far you've come.
Again best wishes, we'll save you a seat on the loser's bench.

The jitters are normal. Although I just read where a couple of people were just really calm. So who knows? Everybody is different. I was real nervous the weekend before and then that early Monday morning I was fine, although my hubby made me cry when he said he wanted to pray for me before we got out of bed. And so he did. *sniffle-sniffle*.
I'm one of those who worries more about the IV than anything! LOL!
I hope it all goes real well for you! Exciting times!
