6 Days Away

I am 6 days away from surgery! Time has gone right before my eyes. I feel like I'm not ready. I am nervous, scared and not much support. Let me correct that, NO support from home right now. I waited for almost a year for this. Cold feet all of a sudden. Oh boy. Any thoughts? Anyone in need of a new Friend?

I know how you feel. I am scheduled to see my surgeon in the morning and will be getting my surgery date. I don't have any support at home either. My husband thinks I will leave him when I start losing weight. I have been trying to reassure him that I love him no matter what I look like.....large or small. In the end, I know this decision is right for me. Something has lead you to the point that you decided to do this for you. Don't let anyone tell you differently! In the end, I am confident we will both be happier, healthier, and have the support of those that love us....and no matter what, we will always have support at OH! Best of luck to you!!!!

Thank you so much for your kindness. Did you get your date yet? 11 hours and counting.

My surgery is also on Monday. I fell happy ansd scared at the same time. More worried about the after surgery. I am lucky and have a very supportive husband, children and friends. Really could use a friend that understands what it feels like.

Hey Lynn, I can always use another friend! My surgery is Thursday so you would think I would be nervous or scared but I am not. Just excited. Maybe it will hit me tomorrow, who knows. Just keep busy and keep your mind occupied so you don't think about your surgery all the time (I know, easier said than done...it's all I think about). It'll be here before you know it and you'll be on the losers bench with everyone else. Sandi

Thank you so much. Sorry I haven't been on to respond. I am now 11 hours away. Oh Boy. I hope you are doing well. How are you feeling? I will look forward to hearing from you. Lynn

Hi Lynn, I'm also 6 days away (feb 25th)...and I keep going back & forth - one minute I'm crazy excited & the next scared to death. Its normal to be scared & nervous. Personally, I've never had surgery - so having the endoscopy was the first time I've ever been in the hospital under anthsetia. I have both set of support - most of my friends/family are there for me BUT I do have 1 friend that has beaten me down. She keeps telling me I'm making the biggest mistake. Also my husband has let me know that although he'll support me, he isnt happy i'm having this surgery. I'll keep you in my thoghts & add you as a friend Michelle

A new surgery sister yeah, my surgery is on the 25th too. I have been going back and forth excited nervous, scared ect, roller coaster.

Hey Lynn, well I made it.. it went well and I should be home by Saturday... I will check back in this weekend...

Good luck to each and every one of you on your upcoming surgeries! Mine is 2/26, and I, for one, can sure use some surgery buddies! I will have you all in my prayers! You each have MY support whenever you need it ...
