Surgery Date Confirmed Jan 13th !!!! Now it'****ting me like a ton of Bricks!

.....I've been working so hard to get things in order... to meet the requirments... to ally the fears of my family and friends... that when the date was actually *confirmed* today it hit me like a ton of bricks. I know the complications in and out. I'm a nurse. Too much knowledge is a baaaaaaad thing. And now I'm scared. No... scared doesn't quiiiiiiiite describe it. How about Terrified?? Yep thats a good one... terrified. Does anyone live in the seattle area and has had Dr James Weber as their surgeon??? I chose him because he is supposedly the best. And he has the most procedures under his belt... about 3000. I'm not used to putting my life in the hands of others.... and I'm scared. Guess thats all I wanted to say. thanks for taking the time to listen to a rambling scardy cat nurse Julia

Hi Juila, Hope the list got to you ok. Don't worry... be happy... I don't really like that old saying but... it sounds good here... You've done your homework on it and you are a pro at at that field were most are not. Just think how you'd handle a person that comes in to see you before the Doc. I sure you believe in what you tell them and have faith or you'd not be in that job. You'll do GREAT... Take care...

hi julia we have some thing in common we are both having surgrey the same day im schedcule for 1-13 also im very scared but im praying everything goes well for the both of us

Wow.... thats great! I will keep you in my prayers... where are you from??? Julia

My date is 1-21-05 and I have a mixture of excitement and fear. Its normal when you know the risks. I've done a lot of research and the better informed you are the more aware you are of the risks... I send you blessings for an uneventful surgery and a quick recovery... Bless you! Carolyn

Hi Julia, I too, am beginning a new chapter of my life on 1-13, I am also nervous, scared, excited, and every other emotion possible. I have done my research and feel confident in my decision and my surgeon. I'll keep you in my thoughts, good luck!

Karen... I will be thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers for an uneventfull surgery!...Here's to a new and better 2005! Keep me posted on how you are doing with your recovery/weightloss Best wishes Julia
