Surgery 1/31

Hello everyone on the Jan 07 message board. I think I might have posted to this board once, but am not sure. I have been watching the Texas board, but thought it might be beneficial for me to keep up with all the folks who had or will have surgeries this month so that we can all keep in touch with each other through our journey together. I have been full of peace about this for the last few weeks, but for some reason the nerves are beginning to set in now. My surgery is two weeks from today and it wasn't until last night that I began to start feeling nervous. I have struggled with my weight my entire life and I know that having this surgery will be the best thing I can do for my health and my poor wittle bone spured feet, but for some reason today I am stressing over this. I have had several friends who have had the RNY and I know what a difference it has made in their life, so there is no question whether or not I am going to go through with this...but help me out here.

Lori, Im in the same boat as you. Im really stressing over this, and questioning if this is the right thing for me to do. I know it is mentally, but its just all so overwhelming. I think for me, its because i don't know what to expect, as far as what my body is telling me, and want to plan now. My husband also wasn't very supportive at first, and is getting there. Let's try and make this really work for us, its best. Keep in touch, my surgery is the 29th. Im from texas by the way, but moved to virginia 2 years ago for a job. ~moni

Good luck! Best wishes.

Hiyas Lori, this is a great board!! I don't have access to my list from here but you may want to look back a few posts and see if you are on it. I am going to update and post it every Friday...except maybe next Friday. I hopefully will be released on Friday and will post if I am feeling up to it. I will let everyone know how I am just may not have it in me to work on the list. Welcome to the board and grats on your date!!! Anna

Hello and congrats on the date! My surgery is on Jan 31st also. I've had a weird night. I have so much to do before surgery but I just can't get it together. So I just stopped and did nothing tonight. I don't know if it's my nerves or what. I had a talk with my husband about life insurance and I'm just a little unsettled. I have friends who went thru this surgery over the past year and they have done tremendously well. Like you, there is no changing my mind, but I feel a little weird. ...Jill
