Topic: RE: Surgery tomorrow!
I don't know what time my surgery is yet- I think about 9am. I'm nervous, too. I'll say a prayer for you. I'm sure everything will be fine.

Oh I so hope that you go in with a possitive attitude and believe in your heart that all will be fine!
Good Luck and I will be sending good vibes and prayers your way!

Topic: Surgery tomorrow!
Hee Haw - the day is finally here. I go in at 7 am and surgery is scheduled for 8:30 tomorrow! I can hardly wait! I'm nervous, but also very excited to begin this new chapter in my life. I'll be praying for all of the others who are scheduled for tomorrow also. Let the games begin!

I too have my surgery tomorrow! Yes I'm anxious and nervous, but know this is the answer. My surgery is at 8:30 - what time is yours? I'll be praying for both of you! Yes, I can hardly wait to join the "Losers Club"! Hugs & prayers, Kathy

That is no fun.. My Grandson had it and he was miserable. Hope it clears up soon!

I had open RNY and I have about a 4-5 in*****ision, and it is not hard to look at. Now when I had my hysterectomy that was awful to look at, but it did split open after they took the staples out and was a horrible mess. So this one is no biggie and looks like it will be just a faint scar once the healing is finished.

The glue my doc used to stick down the strips itched me like crazy. It was red and I actually scratched some spots till it bled and made a scab. Now all the strips are off an I have an outline of where they were. My mom reminded me I am allergic to the glue and the strips ( I have previous surgery where they used the same stuff).

Topic: RE: Tomorrow is the day
I go towmorrow, too, and I am nervous beyond belief. I am tearful and jittery. I'm a nurse, so I know (intellectually) that I'll be fine, but some protective instinct keeps screaming "what the (*&^^ do you think you're doing? Are you crazy, electing to have surgery?" And of course, there's fear that I won't be able to stick to the diet- I've never stuck for more than a year before, after all. I guess we just have to go forward with hope, faith and as much determination as we can muster. I'll think of you in the morning. Do you know what time you're going in?
