my_friend_amber Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 So I'm experiencing something weird right now...I'm in my pre-op diet phase (am 3 lbs down on my way to a total of 15 lost) and have my surgery scheduled, my flights planned and paid for, my time off from work okayed, etc...but still, it doesn't really feel like I'm going to do this. Did/do any of you guys feel this way? It's like I can feel myself going through the motions of preparing, but I just can't believe it's happening to ME! I'm ACTUALLY going to go to Tijuanna, Mexico and have a weight loss surgery. Really!? Anyone else go through this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yes...every day when I look at the calendar and realize I am 1 day closer to flying to Mexico to have weight loss surgery. It made me think about different points in my life and wonder if I ever saw myself being HERE. Believe me, you'll have the feeling right up until the surgery..maybe even after. I'm 10 days away and freaking out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4mygirls Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hi there! I know what you are going through. I was banded April 10th and it just barely sank in.....not kidding. The days went by so fast before the surgery date that the next thing I knew I was 10 days away and now I am 3 weeks post-op!!! I have had a great recovery if that is even what you want to call it. Very easy! I can't wait to continue to lose! Good luck with your journey. > Brook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycoolbutterfly Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I totally agree. I made the final decision March 25, started the pre-op diet same day, and was banded on April 10! I couldn't believe how quickly the motions went for me. Although while I was in TJ, I had a friend from CA with me, but I flew to and from CA alone. So it really never set in, until about a week later. I'm 20 days post op and sometimes look at my scars and think, "i really went through this and it's great"!
