The date of my surgury isThurs. March 8th. Its kind of hard to describe the feelings going throught me rigth now. On one end i know im getting healthy and am doing something for the better but on the other hand not knowing how much pain or god forbid any gliches with the surgury im sure this is all just pre-op nerves. Another thing is thinking of the furture, whats it going to be like not being obese i will soon. As im sure theres going to be bumps in the road i only hope i can take them and stay on track. My doctor told me about this site and am glad that i joined i have met some amazing people on here with words of wisdom and experience.

THANK U SO MUCH FOR RESPONDING!!!

Tuesday is my day too Good luck to you. Just think.... 2 more days to a whole new life! What a blessing!

Hi Jennifer, I'm getting the lap bypass. You'll be fine. It's normal to be nervous. This is a life altering experience!!! I'm sure hubby will be fine with the children; then when this is all over you will have a long and happy life with them. You already took the most difficult step by deciding to have the surgery. Now, your journey is about to climax, and then it will be downhill. How old are your children? Maybe you could prepare a few meals and freeze them so all you'll have to do is reheat them. Try to stock up on items that you'll need for the children so that you won't feel pressure to go to the store those first few days. Please make sure you take care of yourself!!!!! This may sound selfish; but the more you take care of yourself, the faster you will heal, and be able to move on with your life. You will definitely be in my prayers. My mother has a monthly prrayer group that will be meeting this coming Saturday,so I will definitely ask for safe and complication free surgeries for us all. Best Wishes Barbara

I was told 3 weeks.I waited the three weeks but, before that i had no sensation whatsoever...weird!!!
