Lightbulb Got My Date!!!

well a couple of days ago i got the call, i finally got my date for my GB. As I listened to the message i began to panic, it is all so real...It took me two days to call the doc's office back but i did.AUGUST 16 2007 @ 7:30 a.m.WOW, I thought i was having a rollercoaster of emotions before... it was nothing to what i have been going thru the last couple of days.Now i am second guessing everything i had planned for, i have read and re-read so much information, i am freaking out about not having certain foods or drinks again, questioning myself thinking i am making a big mistake and then 20 minutes later i am telling myself that i need to stop being such a moron and do it...is this normal??? or are these the signs that i shouldn't do this???
even my mom who was against me having the surgery didn't try to talk me out of it when i told her i got the date, she surprised me and asked how much time she needs to book off work to stay with me in the hospital.
am i going to be a basket case till the surgery????
i thought that once i got a solid date that i would be so excited...so close to realizing my dreams and yet there are so many fears...so there it is, thoughts anyone??

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Congratulations!!!
The emotional roller coaster ride you are on right now, is soooooo normal. This is one of the biggest events in your life, of course your thoghts and feelings will be going from one end to the other extreme.
Don't stress out, everyone made it through this ride, you are going to do fine, too.
Hang in there, (((((((HUGS))))))) May your journey go well.

Congratulations!!!
yeppers it's sooo normal at the end to start thinking about all you'll give up! On mom's question..I found it a lot more helpful to have someone at HOME with me once I got home..a few visits in the hospital was okay but I slept so much in between walking, etc that I wasn't much company. I had open so I had the pump for quite awhile then the morphine shots so I was out the minute I relaxed at all.

{{{hugs}}} the time will FLY!
