I was scared to death too!   But, it was truly the best thing I've ever done for myself.  I'm so healthy now.  I'm a new person.  You'll be fine.  Just follow the doctor's instructions and keep up with us on this site. 

 i was good during the preop diet.  It was in the presurgery room i thought seriously about bolting.  I mean i panicked and really wanted to go but i didn't...i calmed myself down and decided it was what i needed.  Its not been a bad decision so far.  You will be fine.  try not to cross any bridges until you get to them. take one day at a time.  

I am only 2 1/2 weeks post op but I experienced the exact same thing. I was still grieving all my favourite foods and my sense of security. That is a major step but I don't regret it one bit....but the butterflies were there. After surgery, I wondered if its all worth it but everyday gets so much easier and remember that in recovery.  Each day is 100% better than the day before.

Completely normal! I think it's kind of weird when people don't experience any nervousness. I actually broke down crying the night before. I was so nervous and never went to sleep since I had to be at the hospital at 6am. About 4am I was just sitting here in my room watching videos about the surgery and completely freaked.. I was hysterically crying. Even when I was waiting to be wheeled into the OR, I was shaking and started crying and couldn't stop. They had to give me something to calm me to down. Even for a couple weeks after surgery all I did was regret surgery. I just kept thinking, "I can't believe I did this to myself." Four months later and I am so happy with my decision. I'm almost at a 100 pound loss and I'm doing things I never imagined.. and it's still so early on and I have about 60 pounds to lose still. I can't even imagine how great I'm going to feel once I reach goal. I promise you you're making the right decision for yourself.

Hi, I am right about the same distance from surgery  (10-12-11) as you and I have been having my ups and downs too... mostly at night when I am laying there ready to go to sleep. I have read that this is totally normal. I wish you the best of luck :)
