January 18th is my official surgery date

I am having my surgery in Morgantown, WV  with Dr. Akkary.  I have chosen to have the VSG.  I am really nervous, but anxious of the long term weight loss.  So many thoughts keep going through my mind that I don't even like to think about it.  I don't want there to be a chance where negative thought outway the positive ones.

Less than a month to a whole new you adventure! Congratulations, Nichole! ... It is natural (heck, it's normal and sane!) to be nervous. I just reminded myself that I was in a risky place no matter what -- I was pre-diabetic, my knees were starting to hurt (which could lead to surgery down the road) and I faced a laundry-list of health risks if I didn't take THIS risk.

I also made lists of the many many benefits of the weight loss. I can tell you now, even at the half-way mark, one of my list items is already coming true -- it's a lot more fun dancing with my husband :)

Good luck!

 Congrats!  I'll be one day behind you.  I am also having the VSG.  Did they give you any online classes to watch?  I have some my doctor sent me, if you are interested....

I am definatley interested in the online classes.  So, are you nervous, but anxious at the same time?  As the days get closer I am getting more nervous.  I hear this is normal, but I keep questing myself on stuff like is there any other way to do this.  I know that there is not, but my mind is just running in circles.

 I hear you, I can't believe I start my Pre-OP diet in 1 week. I am having a hard time sleeping with everything circling my head.  PM me your email address and I'll send you the link for the videos.

Thanks..

 I just sent the link from Info Surge, I hope you find the info helpful. :)

We share the same surgery date! I wanted to wish you a very successful surgery. I am positive in my thinking, too, so I know we will do just fine! ~Lacey
