Anxiety before surgery?

Did anyone deal with any anxiety a few days before surgery? For all these months I've been looking forward to it...even the past week and half on this liquid diet. My surgery is Monday and now I find myself feeling some anxiety over it.  Please tell me I'm not alone.
I've done a lot to get where I am (we all have) and this is big deal for me...so why am I suddenly feeling like this with only 3 more days to go?

 You're not alone!  I was totally freaking out, wondering if I was doing the right thing.  I had done my homework, made my choice, jumped through every hoop, and I was on the verge of a new life.  That's downright scary!

I just kept reminding myself that I researched for 3 years, and I was ready.  I also reminded myself that I could change my mind at any moment and cancel--all the way up to being wheeled into the operating room (as long as the anesthesia hadn't kicked in!).  

I had a rough go of it, but I'm glad I did it.

Hang in there!  This is totally normal.  You'll get through it!

My surgery is Monday as well... I had anxiety before I started the liquid diet, not being able to sleep even.  Now that's only a few days away, I'm just wanting it to be over so I can at least have a different flavor of shake.  I'm sure that might change Sunday and Monday morning.

You are not alone. I just had my surgery on Tuesday. You will
be fine. We didn't jump through all the hoops to not be nervous too. Hang in there. This is the best thing I have done for myself and I'm still sore

I had mine on Tuesday too. . I was nervous..and it also has been the best decision of my life....lost 8 lbs since Tuesday..a total of 26 lbs in two weeks.

It's normal to get anxious in the face of major changes. There are a few people who have reported feeling elated and excited and without a second thought, but they seem to me to be in the minority. Usually people have some time of anxiety and even panic.

I was the same day, but my surgery is about 3 weeks away and I am starting to feel it.  So no you are not alone, I assume I will be more nervous closer to the date.

I was nervous and anxious I had my kids and a friend there and I remember crying going to the operating room they were all so kind and nice to me.  When I woke up I had my pastor and family and friends all around me.   I have lost 62 pds so far and I had my surgery April 24.  This was the best decision I ever made.  Best of luck to you

That is awesome both the weightloss and support system.

I have had so many surgeries in my life that my WLS did not scare me.  However, some of the other surgeries I had did.  What worried me was that I was about to rearrange my digestive system in a way that would make it hard to ever go back. 

Here's how I handled the anxiety I felt.  First of all, I needed the WLS.  I did, that's it.  Second, with the surgery comes morphine, safely administered in non-addictive doses.  I don't hate that.  I won't admit to liking it, but I SURE don't hate it.  ;-P  The other nice thing is that when you're pretty helpless after the surgery, the nurses can be awfully sweet and it is nice to be comforted by a kind soul.  Another part is that your stay in the hospital may be boring, but it is a good chance to have down time.  We can all use that.

I wish you all the best with your WLS.  I'm a year out and I will tell you that I would do it all over again if I had to.  It has been one of the best things I have done for myself ever.  Blessings.
