New this board and seeing that my BMI is 59.3 this just be the place for me I am getting really nervous my surgery is in 4 days and I am going nuts trying to stay busy and get things done and packed and house cleaned and while I am doing it I wonder if I should be spending this time with my kids incase I dont make it I think that is what I am most affraid of is not making it off the table to spend anymore time with my babies is it normal to be feeling like this ? if it is how do I get out of this mode?

I think we all go through those jitters! I know I did until I realized my path is already been set and what will happen will happen. I made out a list of all the bills and how much to pay and when they were due. I listed all 3 of my life insurances and phone numbers. I then hid it and told only my sister where it was. I didn't want my husband taking on that burden at that time. I then put all my jitters, anxiety and worries into the lords hands and I didn't dare take them back! I was fine after I knew my hunny would be taking care of. I wasn't living at 423 i was only exisisting. My hubby had to do everything. I felt worthless. For me it was worth taking the chance and having a new life. Today my hunny can hardly keep up with me! He loves my new found energy. I love being able to get up when I want to get up not to sit and think about it and ponder it! You take care and know these feelings are very much NORMAL!! xoxoxox Lisa

Cindy, It is very normal. I even drew up a living will and a regular will. I've seen so many people have so many problems. But, I finally looked at it like this: If I stayed 210 lbs overweight, I was going to die the long slow death of diabetes, high blood pressure and not walking due to the arthritis. If I took the chance on weight loss surgery, yes, I might die, but, if I didn't, my life had the potential to be so much better. I'm 9 weeks out and doing great. I feel very lucky not to have had problems. Getting your affairs in order before any kind of surgery is not a bad idea for anybody! Good luck! Lori 384/323.5/170
