I am having WLS in 10 days, on the 19th. It has taken 13 months to get to this point. I have researched it, and feel I have the BEST surgeon. Not once have I second guessed my decision. However, at this late date, my family is seemingly just getting with the program and several are saying they don't feel good about this. I'm a bit taken back by their comments and am a little nervous now, for the first time since I started this thing. Is it NORMAL to be a bit apprehensive this close to surgery, or have all of you that have had surgery, walked right into the hospital ready to go? Please talk to me, anyone who can help. Thanks....

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Ray...You have such a great attitude. I love your collage. I`m looking forward to the next round of pics. I hope I do as well as you. I`m in the early stages of working up to an insurance approval. Alice hardestyal hardesty@... Second week post-op In my second week of post-op from open RNY w/chole. Still losing quickly. Getting somewhat bored of diet looking for options. Have had some diet soda. Sipped the soda after it was opened for probably 15 minutes or so. I enjoy soda, but don't think I want to deal with the bloated feeling like that to often. I know I've got to increase my protien intake and am looking forward later this week to getting to the gym for my post-op walking. No nausea so far and my system tells me when I'm low on water. All in all, I'm feeling good, there's room for improvement,but I still have that drive. Thanks to everone here for the encouragement. In case anyone cares, I posted a small collage in the pictures folder (Ray W). My next pictures will be at 100 days post op, hoping for -80 lbs by that time (May 5). For those of you contemplating the surgery, read, research, and attend the support groups. But most importantly, ASK THAT QUESTION, whatever it is, if you don't ask it you may never find the answer to it. As for me, even though I'm just 14 days post, I would do it again.
