I found you.

Hi Everyone, I have been on this site since last July, and I just now found this board. I normally post on the Ohio and Main Message Board. Well I will be having surgery on Tuesday April 26 at 11:00 am. I am a nervous wreck. I have had a hard time sleeping, but thanks to tylenol pm that is now not an issue. I know I am not suppose to, but I am going out on Sunday night for the "last meal". I plane to go to the Fishermans Warf, they have fresh seafood flown in daily. I have already started on my vitamins. Also as suggested by the nurse, I purchased a sippy cup to get in the habit of sipping and not gulping. I am so anxious to get this going. I cant wait to get on the LOSER SIDE. Keep me in you prayers, Hugs, Lisa

Good luck Lisa. Take a few deep breaths to try to relax. I was a Nervous Nellie up until the day before surgery. Then a sense of peace and calmness came over me for some reason. I was absolutely certain this was the best thing I could do for myself and my family were so great. We all got tegether the day before surgery, and had a wonderful time. Biggest surprise pre-op for me was losing the desire to eat 2 days before surgery!! Boy oh boy, I had such great plans for meals, and I just didn't feel like eating. I even missed out on my last Mounds and Almond Joy bars!! I will be thinking of you on Tuesday and sending my best wishes your way. Remember: If God takes you to it, He will take you through it. Linda

Good luck, Lisa! You'll be home and healing in no time and on the losing side!

Good luck on your surgery, and a speedy recovery.

I just found out about this site about a week and a half ago! I had gone to my pre-op classes and someone there told me about this. I LOVE having all of this support! I am scheduled for tomorrow morning and am very excited! I am also nervous, but more excited! Good luck with yours and I will keep you in my prayers.
