Angel, don't be scared, this is the best thing you can do for yourself! If anything this is going to SAVE your LIFE! The pre-op tests are simple don't worry about them. The surgery will be over in no time and you will be on your way to a BETTER LIFE!!! Good Luck and God bless!!! Annalisa

Angel, When I started out on this journey I was not scared at all, but so excited and a little anxious. I continued to read the messages and pretty much everything my brain could absorb on this web site. People here have been very helpful, calming and such a source of information. BUT, in my humble opinion, if you are anything like me I get scared easy and overwhelmed and my mind starts to work overtime and the more I read peoples stories and such for some reason I started feeling very scared. It got to the point that I could not sleep at night, sick to my stomach feeling etc. Well anyway, My best friend who had the surgery said STOP getting online so much. Do other things. Think only positive thoughts. Pray, plant some flowers, read a book, watch a comedy, just stop getting online so much. I did just that and it worked..... It has only been a few days but I am much better. I am just reading posts for 15 min every 3 or 4 days and that is it. Maybe this will work for you if you are anything like me. Good luck. You will be fine, don't be scared. Bye for now Sheryl
