Am I ready for JUNE 7th???

My surgery is Tuesday, June 7...only a few days away. I am feeling the butterflies floating around inside. Actually I think they are more like jets! I don't really know what I'm feeling except to say that I am "SCAREDLY EXCITED". I know I'll freak when I get to the hospital! What can I expect from the hours after surgery? What about the next day? Holy Crap, am I ready for this??? Barb

Hi Barbara, I know EXACTLY how you're feeling! My surgery is one day after yours. By the way, your analogy of "jets in the stomach" is oh so appropriate! I wish you much luck with your nerves in the coming days and much success with your surgery. I'm sure you'll do just fine. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Julie

I know exactly how your feeling. I've been a nervous wreck since I found out my date.. June 14th, so I've been thinking every negative thought you can think of and every positive also. I guess I'm weird. I wanted you to know I'll be praying for you, and you'll be fine. You are ready as am I. I can't wait to be a LOSER!!!!! God Bless, Lori June 14th A New Beginning

I'm also going in June 7th..and I know exactly how your are feeling. I was feeling the same way untill the other day when I went for my pre-op stuff. I met 2 people who had their surg. last week and they were doing great! From then on I've been doing ALOT better....It seemed to calm me. I'm sure I'm going to cry when I get to the hosp. But I'm sure alot of people do so I'm not worried about it. I wish you much luck and I'll keep you in my prayers...along with all the other June babies.(it IS our rebirth!) ~Issy

Hi Barb, My surgery date is on June 23rd, the day after school gets out. Of course I'm not working that final week just to avoid "kiddie germs". Just think, this is the last weekend you will have to endure being the weight that you are, whatever that is. I can't wait for my final weekend. I will be praying for you as you go into this life altering event. I like what was posted- this is our rebirth! God Bless, Kerri

Looks like 6/7 is a popular date! I worked my last day today and EVERYONE kept asking if I was nervous. I am not nervous. I have all the convidence in the world with my Dr. Besides that, I had part of a lung removed years ago. They cut me open, split my ribs apart and everything. So I figure this won't be any worse than that and the results will be soooo worth it. Put yourself in God's hands and go in with a positive attitude; we're all going to do great! Dj
