Tomorrow! Emotions are kicking in.

At this time tomorrow, I should be out of surgery! I can not wait to wake up and know that everything went ok. I am not affraid of the pain or the needles. I just want to wake up and know I will talk to my son again. I know I will! But I still can't help wondering. I have been so excited. My son called to check on me a little while ago (he is at his dad's). He took a picture of us and says he carries it with him to keep me close. He is only 9 years old. I thought it would be the hardest when he left to go to his dad's. But it was nothing compared to hearing his voice on the phone today. I don't want him to worry. So I held my tears in until I hung up the phone. Then the tears rolled! I am sure everyone has feelings like this a little. Mine may be worse because I am also dealing with my dad and cancer. Tommorow can not get here and over quick enough. Calling my son is the very first thing I want to do once I wake up. Then my dad. I hope I do not bring anyone else down. I AM excited and looking forward to it. I am not all sad....just some. I can't wait to start losing the weight and be a success! To prove that it is worth going through all of this. Good luck to everyone else. I can't wait to hear everyone's stories on the other side! God Bless, Christina

Good Luck Tomorrow! My surgery date is June 6th. I am very nervous also. I have a 9 year old son also. I know that I will keep you in my prayers. I hope you have a story for me when you start to recoop! God Bless, Cherice Vann

You are doing the right thing - by having surgery, you are ensuring that you will be there for your son for the long run

Good luck tomorrow and i will see you on the other side as im having surgery on the 6th. YOu will be in my prayers. Jess

I am going in tomarrow for a Lap Band. I understand how you feel. My children (son is 12 and daughter is 8) mean the world to me. I am so afraid that something will happen to me and they will be without a mother. I lost my mother when I was 26. My daughter is upset about me going to the hospital. My son seems ok, he understands more. I can't wait till I am on the losing side. I am so excited, but also so scared and nervous. I have had butterflies in my stomach all day. I have to be at the hospital at 7:30, surgery at 9:30. I stay overnight and come home on Thursday providing my swallow test is good. Good luck to you tomarrow, Christina. Joan

I sooo understand, my surgery is June 7th. I have not been able to sleep for over a week now and when I do finally get to sleep I have really WEIRD dreams all night. My stomach is in knots and all I can think about is my children, husband and mother. I am so afraid that if something does happen to me that my children will not even remember me. I have 2 boys 3 and 17months. My husband is in the military and I am scared that if something happens to me and then he goes back to war and is hurt or God forbid killed then what would become of my children. I do have solace though, I have fell asleep almost everynight praying that this is the right decision for me and my future. I know that this is the right decision for me and I am sure that you have come to this same conclusion. I will pray for you and will see you on the other side. Ashe
