Got the Jitters

It happened. I've been going along thinking happy thoughts about my surgery, no second guessing anything. Doe-Dee-Oh-Doe. I know this is my best chance to get healthy and to live longer. I want it a whole bunch! My date can't get here soon enough. But... Before my feet hit the floor this morning after waking up (very early, I might add), I thought WHAT AM I DOING? It kind of shocked me. I'm not much of a what-iffer so it threw me for a loop. I guess it's normal. Have any of you done this? How long did it last? I am going to take a nap soon. Maybe it will go away. Jeanie in MO DS 02/11/05 "Duodenal Switch: My New Beginning"

Hey you, I can honestly say i have been doing this all week, to the point i have almost packed it in a few times, they say its normal but ohhhh still scary, I know exactly how you feel.... mines feb1st/05 in rochester new york. Because im in canada and its far away im gone for 2 weeks altogether, no family no hubby, and most of all not my kids i miss them already and I ain't gone.....So for what its worth your not alone :-0

Thanks for replying. I'm traveling across several states for my surgery in Nebraska, but my husband is going with me. We will be gone for a little over a week. Have you talked to anyone on the New York boards? Maybe someone there could check in on you. I met a friend who lives in Omaha and she will be checking in on my husband while we are there. He gets spastic about medical stuff. Good luck! Let's hope these feelings pass quickly.
