January 28th Date? How are you feeling?
All I think about is the surgery. I go to bed thinking about it and wake up thinking about it. I've been looking forward to this since September, 2008. I know that my life is about to change forever. I try to imagine how I'm going to feel right after the surgery. Will I be in pain, will I be glad it's over? (yes) I'm praying for no complications and that I'm headed down the right road. My parents told me over the weekend they are concerned about me, however thay do understand why I'm doing this. I'm quite hard to live with right now, my emotions are running wild. Well, just needed to vent. Tell me how you all feel, and if you've had the surgery let me know how you felt after the surgery.
Thanks
Deborah
Your feelings are very normal, in fact I was a little cranky to my husband the night before. He is such a gem though as he understood that I was just running wild with emotions although very excited too.
I had my surgery on Jan 8th and I feel wonderful. In the hospital, I barely used the pain pump because it zonked me out so much. I used the oral pain med mostly at night to sleep well or if my tummy was sore after getting up and out of bed so much. I walked way more than they told me to but I also got rid of the gas quicker that way and felt so much better for doing it. I would waltz by the nurses station late at night and they would tell me, "wow, are you motivated or what!" I did quite a bit of journaling on my blog page so feel free to read it.
You're going to do great. You have a great team of surgeons and nurses to see you through it and follow their recommendations to the letter. Sending warm thoughts and prayers your way for an uneventful surgery and speedy recover too.
Hugs,

Deborah,
I'm doing the same things. Work has actually helped I work half day tomorrow and then I am done. All I think about when I come home is just as you said.....How I am going to feel when I get home, yet how exciting it is to know what the outcome of the surgery will be.
We have less than 2 days left

DH is going to take the before pics tomorrow. Imagine the difference in 2 months or so. YEAH!!!!!! two piece bathing suit this summer!!!!! Hope things go well for you. Let's keep in touch. I'll email when I'm out of surgery. I'll get DH to anyway.
