Calling all 1/25/05 "surgery sisters & brothers"

Hello Vicki, My surgery date is also 1/25/05. I am not afraid of anything. I think my mom and my husband are doing that for me. I am anxious. I look at death like if it is my time to go then GOD will take me. Although I do not want to die, I know it is in his will. What I am looking for the most after surgery is being able to play sports with my 2 boys. Christie

Hi fellow 1/25ers, I guess I fear the unknown...what will I feel like, how will I be able to hydrate and eat, will I have any complications, will it be successful. I too have anxiety and sometimes dwell on the what ifs...I have 4 boys 15, 11, 9, and 6 and I'd really like to be around for them and all my future grandkids. I look forward to sex as a thin person, not hurting after working a 12 hour shift (nurse), eating to live instead of living to eat, health and freedom of body. Good luck to us all and prayers that God will direct our surgeon and caregiver's hands. We are off and running! Blessings, Carolyn
