Jamie your not alone, we all feel that way its natural....But if its to much for you then call the dr. and ask him to give you a relaxing pill before the surgery even begins.... I woke up today at 2am with a sick feeling and wanting to back out.. But in the day time I am fine. Take a warm bath and know that your not alone. Janice

Jamie, hang in there I had surgery on March 4th and I would not go back. I too was very nervous. Try to find some way to occupy things getting out, working on chores that you may not be able to do when you come home. Also while in the hospital remember to walk it makes you feel 100% better. Wishing you best of luck. Crystal www.marykay.com/crystalgarland Ask me how to get $75 for $25!

Jamie, This was posted on a question I started. It was so well said, that I have merely copied and pasted it on here. Greg said this so well...KV Response from Greg Sands at 7:04 AM PST on 03/13/2005 Collingswood, NJ - RNY (03/07/2005) Kevin, as I got the pregame jitters before my surgery last week, I did two things: I looked at the before and after pictures posted by other men who had this done. I didn't read their profiles, because you can't dwell on what can go wrong. Gotta stay positive. I did this for a week. I was amazed at the changes. I told myself "This can happen to me. It will! It MUST!" The other thing I did was a visualization: I closed my eyes and pictured myself on March 7, 2006, my one-year anniversary date. I pictured what I looked like, the clothes I wore, my clean bill of health from my PCP, the reaction of friends and family, the things I could do that I couldn't do pre-op, etc. I made it all as vivid as I could. Then, I visualized what I would be like if a year down the road if I DIDN'T have the surgery. That lasted about 10 seconds. I practically RAN into the OR last Monday! FYI, I'm six days out and I feel FAR better than I thought I would. Two things to remember: While nothing is a guarantee, statistics favor your complete recovery with minimal issues. Also, your surgeon isn't a novice. Put your body in your surgeon's hands and everything else in God's. You will be fine! Good luck.
