Surgery-March 21st!! Very Anxious!!
Hey everyone...I was so excited when I got the call last week that my surgery had been scheduled! Now, I realize how fast time is going...and I am getting nervous...emotional crying, and anxiety attacks!! I don't really understand all of these emotions; since I know that I am actually very happy that I was approved and that I'm getting this surgery. I just can't seem to pull myself together! I have a long list of things I want to get done before I go into the hospital...actually before the 18th, when my sister gets here from Maryland. Maybe I am nervous about being able to finish my list in time.....Who knows...I feel like a HUGE BABY
TerriBelle-
I am right there with you!!! my date is the 22nd. every ten seconds i go from super excited to really nervous, to really stressed out!! I have a list that could wrap around me at least two times!! What is even worse is that I am usally so cool, calm, pulled together. I just decided that whenever I get really worked up I would come and read someone's post op journal. reading about how well they all are doing, and how much they love their choice in the long run really helps me settle into the idea that this is a GOOD choice! Also, just realize that if you don't complete your list, those things can wait, the world won't fall down if you don't finish. I will be thiniking about you in these next weeks, knowing someone else is EXACTLY where I am in this journey!!

TerriBelle - my surgery is the 21st also. I'm very anxious but I know that I've made the best choice in surgeon and procedure. Prayer actually has been a big comfort to me, and I'll say a prayer for you. Another thing that has really helped is the support I feel not only from my family but also from all the people on this website from all over the country. If your emotions really start getting the best of you, talk to your doctor, he's the professional and may be able to give you some tools to deal.
Best of luck... Toni
Way to go, I have my surgery scheduled for the 21st also here in DE. You are going through the same emotions that I am. Just knowing that someone is doing just the same thing that I am makes this seem less scary. Don't worry about getting everything done before surgery, it will work out. Just remember take time for yourself, this is your journey. You are going to be in my thoughts. Sandi 
My Surgery is March 17 Saint Patricks Day. I am thinking of wearing green underwear and socks lol I am so nervous. I am not sure why, I have had other surgeries but non that will change my life in such this way. I am excited about having more energy and feeling better. I think being nervous is a natural thing. Today when my 11 year old son came in the kitchen wearing a saint patricks day shirt from old Navy. I just smiled like it was a sign that I am doing the right thing. I will be thinking of all of you and I will post on the others side.
God Bless, Monique
