GETTING NERVOUS

SURGERY DATE IS ON THE 26TH AND THE REALITY OF POSSIBLY BEING THIN IS SETTING IN AND GETTING NERVOUS

Richard, I know how you feel. My surgery is in 6 days, and I'm both excited and nervous. I'm eager for the change, but also a little scared. I wish you well!

Mine is in 14 days - and I'm kinda blank. I just know my life from next month on will never be the same. We'll make it - together!! Barb

Donr get nervous. the outcome of all this depends on your attitude going into this . Remember that GOD will never leave you or forsake you I had WLS on Wednesday, and I've tried to be very optimistic through it all. Besides a little and I mean a little stomach soreness I'm feel fine, and can't wait to see furture results.

Hi Richard, I had an open proceedure on April 6th. I almost backed out of it because I got so nervous. I thought of dying on the table and everything else, it is a natural process that we go though. The morning of surgery I was a nut case. I cried like a baby and the worse part was the IV. I am a basket case when it comes to needles. My surgery was at 7:30AM. I remember rolling down the hall to the operating room but before I even got into it I was completely out. When I came to the first thing I thought of was I'm alive, Thank you God. Silly how we think. It was also late afternoon and my Angel was sitting quietly in the chair waiting for me to wake up. I was in my own room. I really must have been tired. Push your morphine button as much as possible and don't be like me. Tough guy, I don't need it. Oh yes you do because it is much better if you use it the first few days. It helps out alot. You will be fine my friend, so try to stay calm and e-mail me if you feel a need to. God Bless and I will think of you and pray for you. The people on this chat board are terrific and will be there for you. Hugs. Cathy D

Richard, good luck on you upcoming surgery. Mine is scheduled for the 31st of may and l am also nervous. l have been waiting for this for so long now it seems frightening now that it is actually here. You will do fine and just think of all the wonderful things ahead for you. Let me know how you do and my thoughts are with you. Jolene

Richard, I can totally relate!!!! My surgery is on the 11th...I am just trying to stay positive and busy. I will send positive thoughts and prayers your way on your surgery date. Patti

Don't be nervous Richard. Be really, really excited. I had my surgery 4 days ago and I feel GREAT! This is the best thing I could have ever done for myself. It is hard to imagine that I am actually going to be losing all this weight after so many years of struggling with it. Good luck on your upcoming surgery. I hope it goes as well as mine did. Joanne

Richard, My surgery is also scheduled for May 26th. I very nervous as well. I'm trying to stay relaxed and not focus on the negatives that could happen but rather on the positives that will happen. Keep good thoughts in your head and it'll help. Kandi
