Surgery on May 14th

Well, here is it a week before surgery, and I still can't quite grasp the fact that I am actually doing this!! It seems so surreal! Has anyone felt like that? I have been trying to be good - I don't have to do the liquid diet or stuff like that as far as I know. I will be checking in with the doctor tomorrow (after my anesthesia consult) to make sure, though. I haven't really been as good as I would like - I know he wants to shrink my liver, but I am having difficulty in staying in a good place with all of this. I really want to do this, and I KNOW I have to do this - I'm a lightweight, but I still have sleep apnea and now diabetes. I am so ready to do it, but I am still scared. Is this normal? Maybe I'm thinking wrong. I guess I'm so excited that it doesn't seem real. Oddly, I am not really concerned about after surgery and sticking with the new lifestyle. I am actually looking forward to it! Still, I can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that I am actually doing this! Susan

Suzi, you sound perfectly normal to me. My surgery is tomorrow. I experienced everything you just said. Good Luck with your surgery and hope you have a speedy recovery. ~~Betsy

Betsy, thank you soo much. I feel so much better now. I will be praying for you tomorrow - good luck, and hurry back! Hugs, Susan
