Im getting soo nervous.. tomorrow is the day

I know this is probably what most of us go through.. yet im soo scared.. Ive been wanting this for so long.. and now that tomorrow is the day.. all I can think abt is cancelling.. Im so scared.. I just dont want to die!!!  ugh!!!  I have so much to lose.. and my kids.. what will they do without me.. I know im acting foolish yet there is so much going on in my life and I NEED to be here..  Please.. I need some help or words.. I just want to be healthy and be able to care for my kids better and get off a couch without every bone in my body hurting... ugh!! 

((((((((((hugs))))))))  you're right that we all go through a huge panic right before surgery.  i just kept crying and berating myself for not being able to do WW or Jenny or anything besides the stupid surgery!  and i know for other mom postings that being afraid of leaving little ones is a common fear too.  just remember -- the surgeon's done this many times, it's a straight-forward surgery (unlike, say, RNY), and by doing this you'll be around your children a lot longer b/c you'll be healthier.

i know this won't make it all go away, but i hope it helps a little!  good luck!!!

you will be fine!!!! just think, this is possibly the best thing that you could do for yourself and your children. my little one was my deciding factor as to why i wanted to do this. i couldn't stand the fact that i could become so unhealthy and check out on her early.

good luck tomorrow! you will be great!

Thank u soo much.. My kids mean the world to me.. I did some more reading and I see that this procedure is far safer than some.. yet there is always that thought..  Ugh!!!   Im praying and praying that I will wake ok and all will be fine.. Keep me in ur prayers please.. Thanks soo much again...

I'll be praying for you. You will do just fine and wake up with your wonderful sleeve ready to join to loosers bench.

I went through the same thing last week. I was terrified! At the same time, however, I know that if I didn't take this step, my kids would not have me around for as long as I want! This was the step I HAD to take.....
Try to relax and go in from a peaceful place, and not a stressed out place!

Good luck!

I was so scared too but I knew I was doing the right thing, and so do you. You'll be in good hands. Wishing you peace, a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery.
