Surgery Friday!!!!!!

Hello everyone! I'm 21 and I currently wieght 295 and my surgery is Friday. I'm sooooo nervious! I never had surgery before and I hate hospitals with a passion. I wanted it liposcopically but It's going to be open procedure. I'm so nerivous, its really stressing me out! My mom had it in 2000 and lost 125 lbs. She told me that its not going to be easy the first couple weeks. I just be glad when its over.....Are there anyone else in my shoes right now?

Crystal I'm not in your shoes right now, but I was on Feb 8th. I live here in raleigh and had my surgery done with DUKE. I was not a open procedure...but its' still surgery and I did have pain that I thought would never go away. I felt the same as you . I just wanted to get it over with . I was nervous, stressd out, could not sleep. But all that is normal to have. Just know that you are doing somethin to give yourself a better and more healthy life. I wish you all the best wishes on a speedy recovery. I know that you will do well. Stephanie

Thank you for the reply, I hope that your doing alright and maintaining over there. Good luck to your weight loss journey as well.

Hi Crystal: I'm Cathy, my surgery is Friday also, RNY, laprascopic. I will be nervous, "Thursday", won't be able to sleep, etc etc. I will be glad when it is over. I can't wait to be on the losing side with everyone else and onto a healthier me! Good Luck to you.......Thoughts and prayers will be with you! Cathy

Same goes to you too! You lucky, I wish mines was liproscopically but its not, its going to be an open procedure which really sucks, I just got the time I needed to be there today. My surgery is at 9:50 am but they want me there at 7:50 am. But good luck to you and girl, We will be alright (easier sad than done, lol) Hope to hear from you later after the surgery.
