HI, JUNE bugs....boy have I had a bad week....

Hi to all my JUNE PEERS!!!!!! WHAT a week i just had.......earlier in the week i lost my dad which is very hard to deal with. Now i went to my surgeon and he is concerned cause my blood pressure has gone very high. I know its from the stress of this lost, however, if i cant get the blood pressure down i may jeopardize my JUNE 1 date. I have worked to damn hard to loose this date. I will go see my regular phsycian tomorrow in hopes he can precribe something to keep my nerves down right now with so much going on at once. HOWs everyone else doing as our dates are getting nearer and nearer? I signed all my surgery releases ...next week is my pre op hospitol stuff and i guess i have to stay calm and keep my blood pressure down too. LISA

Sorry for the loss of your dad-that must be very hard. i pray your blood pressure goes down-i know how hard u have worked for wls date. GOD BLESS.

YES thank you jackie we all work hard to get to that point of a surgery date!!!! THANKS for your kind words

Sorry to hear of your loss, especially this close to surgery. But just keep in mind he'll still be with you. When are you scheduled? My date is 6/15/05, not getting nervous, just restless wanting to be done with it. CS

gosh lisa, i am so sorry. of course your blood pressure is high, i would think that would be expected. i will keep fingers crossed that it all works itself out and you get thru all of this. us june 1st-ers got to stick together! i go monday for my pretesting and then wait! getting more excited, as the date gets closer it seems less real! but can't wait! stay strong ((((hugs))))) mary jo

Sorry to hear about your Dad. My prayers go out to you and your family. New week coming and you have worked to hard for this surgery to let it all go. So get yourself together and join me on June 1st, on the LOSING SIDE.

Dear Lisa, So sorry for your loss. I too am having surgury on June 13th and have a 2 year old daughter. My husband was arrested yesterday & will most likely be in jail for the surgery. (which is a good & bad thing). Anyhow, I can completely relate to your stress and anxiety. I have been extremely moody now that the count down for surgery has begun, I am fortune in a sense that I already have a RX for anxiety medication. You seem like a really great person. I have read several of your posts. I only wish we lived closer together! My only point to this is to let you know that I identlfy. Do your best to relax in this dificult time. And try to remember that you are having WLS to get healthy, if it does come to pass that you need to postpone, try to accept that as your wish too, because you certainly don't want to do anything to jepordize your life. Best of Luck to you, as you can see there are many people out there *****ally are pulling for you. Please feel free to contact me should you want to chat. Angel

Hi Lisa, I am soo sorry for your loss. I lost my dad many years ago, so I know how that goes. Sending prayers for you and your dad. Now about that blood pressure, that totally stinks. I hope your gp is able to help you. I take a very mild med for blood pressure and it really helps. Best of luck and keep us posted. Julie
