I am getting terrified

Hi Marchers, I just needed to post this. I am terrified of surgery Tuesday. I am feeling nausiated. I know it is just nerves but MAN all of the sudden these feelings just overwhelmed me. I keep thinking ...I know this is best for me...but wayyyy back there in that brain of mine I wonder...what if this happens?? I know it is normal..I just need your prayers. Thanks Alot everyone!! You are all wonderful. Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler 3 Days till NewPouch A riddle a day will keep the Marchers pounds AWAY!

Hold on to your pants Hun! This is normal and good. You will look back when all is said and done and have a good laugh over how you were. I'm sort of an old pro with abdominal surgery (5 and counting) and I'm a bit too. Just think though 3 days to a whole NewPouch! You will be fine!

Hey Bethany Hon, I'm hearing ya. You are going to be just fine. Take a deep breath and repeat after me: I am going into a healthy new lifestyle and everything is going to be just fine, cause da judge is here praying for me. Now when that anxiety kicks in just repeat the above. And know we all love you, care about you and are praying for you. Love, Peace and Prayers to you and yours. Betty

Hang in there Betheny! I woke this morning and realised that my Pre-op day is actually this coming week and surgery is a week from Monday! We are doing the right thing and our docs are pros! This surgery is becoming(excuse the pun) a piece of cake for the docs. Andie March 8, 2004

Hi Beth, just try to stay focused, keep yourelf busy make sure you have everything you need and I am finding that if you keep a journal at home on paper it helps to express all your feelings, and takes some of the stress away before you know it you will be on your way to a healthier you! Go buy yourself something pretty in a smaller size this will keep you motivated.... p.s. dont forget to have the nurse put a blanket under your lower back to eleviate some of the pressure during your wls, waking up without lower back pain is a plus!!! experience talking here, I have had 3 abdominal surgeries in 1 year and it helps!!!! God bless You!

Bethany .... I am not good with words so I will just say ((((((((((( HUGSSSSSSSS)))))))))) I will be thinking of you and praying for you too. We will all get through this tough and scary time together. Hugs, Mo doin' the 22 days and a wake up happy Mo dance

Hey Bethany - just hang in there. All will be well and you will be laughing about this when you are svelte!! Keep your eyes on the prize - a much healthier and happier person! Hugs to you, mgm 17 days to go

Dear Bethany: As much as I feel I need this surgery I think you need it even more. You are so young, with a great future ahead of you, but only if you lose all the excess weight. Besides being very bad for your health there is a terrible attitude about fat women. It holds women back from finding great jobs, achieving promotions and finding love and having babies. I hope you get your terror under control and I hope you follow the program post operatively. You have a long future ahead of you. All the best to you. Louise

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me and has said encouaging words to me. Judge...I will say that everytime now !!! Thank you everybody!!! Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler 3 Days till NewPouch A riddle a day will keep the Marchers pounds AWAY!

Bethany, I just wanted to say that I know how you feel. I am terrified also, but we have to look at the other side and know that we are going to come out of this happier, healtheir person. I will be thinking of you on Tuesday and looking forward to hearing from you when you get home and become your recovery process. GOOD LUCK Sam
