My surgery is January 20, 2005

So my surgery is coming faster than what I thought, but at the same time it's taken me forever to get to this point. Im excited and scared at the sametime. I'm afraid that something will happen and I won't be able to have it and then I'm afraid for my baby because I'm going to want to hold him and love him, and I know from previous experience of abdominal surgeries that its not going to be possible for a little while. I want to have this done and over with so I can move on with my life. Is it hard to readjust, is it hard to watch what you eat, is it hard to read the nutrition labels? What kind of things did anyone have to do before they were released from the hospital? Vanessa

Hi Vanessa, Hang in there... keep the faith. Try not to think of the bad side of things... think ONLY of the good, holding and PLAYING with your little baby ALL the fun your GOING to have with him... I wish you the best on your up coming surgery... Will put in a few prayers for you... KEEP THE FAITH... PooBear

Good Luck on your WLS. My surgery date is January 20th as well and I understand how you have all these questions and am excited and scared at the same time. But try to remember how much better you will feel once it is over with. God Bless. Karen

My surgery is on Jan. 20th too! I'm so excited I can't hardly stand my own self!!!!! I've lost from 340 down to 185 a few years ago and I felt WONDERFUL! I can't wait to surpass that this time!

hi vanessa , i also have a surgery scheduled for the same day, i have the same feelings as well except i don't have a baby. i know that god has destiny for my life so i know all is going to be well. you must think positive and knowing that god is in control of every situation as long as you include him in on everything that involves your life. for he said that he loves us very dearly. so i pray that this will ease your worried little mind and put you at ease because your family is going to have put on roller blades to keep up with you in a few months.
