I'm so nervous..Are you???

Hi Mary Jane, My surgery date is 1/15 and I am also very nervous and can't sleep. It is 4:30 am here in California! Good luck to you with your surgery.

Good luck on your surgery!! My surgery date is the same as yours and I am having my surgery at Stanford. You and all those others who are having surgery on the 15th will be in my thoughts. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!! Hugs, Harriet

Hi Yes I am too! My date is January 5th and the list of things that needs to get done is huge! It IS NORMAL, and it is a big deal. This is real and the changes will be many. Think of how hard it is to adjust to living in a new home or working at a new job. This is change. We are going to eat differently, get full quickly. The part I am concerned about is pain management, that is the part I have concerns with. Will I really get the relief from pain I need? Maybe that is a silly question but last time I had surgery was in 1985 and it was no fun! See you on the other side! Trust in the Lord He will direct your paths. Karen

Hi Karen, we are surgery siblings...mine is the 5th as well...here's to an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery ! Let me know how things went for you. Take Care.....don't stress too much.

You bet my date is 4 days and a wake up away, si I am spending lots of time in this website reading all of the great success stories to reassure myself. I also find I am dreaming alot so that must mean restless sleep. Best wishes to you I know we all be be fine... Alex in Jacksonville,Fl. open RNY 1/6/2004

Nervous??? OH YEAH...if anyone watches my posts on the message board...THEY ALL KNOW....I am so nervous sometimes I get sick...I have a 3 year old that I love so much...I hope it doesn't take two weeks to get better....

OMG!!! I'm the abnormal one....I'm nervous....I'm excited...I'm happy and sad, releved and tense(etremely my back and neck are boards). I had a breast reduction and all I can think of is that mask coming down on my face and waking up in that cold room scared and alone. It's a felling I really don't want ot have again, but i DONT WANT MY HI BP AND DIABETES EITHER! Anyway.... you are not alone i feel like a manic depressive....but i also have prayer and my husband. Getting a little better everday. 1/20/04

OH my gosh!!! I am so nervous!! My surgery is the sixth, and I already feel like my stomach has been restricted. I'm going to have the RNY, but i am a nervous wreck, I mean I know this is what I need to do, I don't have any doubts about that, but I'm just scared. Alot of questions go through my mind, I mean, you all have been there. I have spent so much money on weight loss before, and seen the before and after pics, and thought hey that might work for me, and it never has, there is just this nagging in the back of my mind that maybe this is going to be the same way. So believe me you are definately normal, I just can't wait for the next three days to be over with. Good Luck with your surgery.
