Nerves...

Now that I'm under a month to go... anyone else getting a little nervous? I'm not 'cancel it' kinda nervous - just uneasy a bit.. which I think is totally normal.. anyone? bueller? elizabeth

Elizabeth, I am right there with you. I am VERY nervous. Now that I am a mom (4yrs) it makes me more nervous to think about the what if's. I know everything will be OK but I guess it is all part of the process. Best of Luck to you! What is your date? I am having lapro GBS on 6/11. Amy

Hi Elizabeth. Yes a little nervous.....but more about what to expect afterward. I have been getting some - quite a bit actually - of insight by reading and hearing from folks who have gone through it. It's like anything - you are always apprehensive of new things....things when you know not what to expect. My biggest concern right now is how I will feel - eat - act - the first several days after surgery. I'm in "pretty good" health for being 100 pds overweight - so I think that lessens the risks somewhat (at least in my mind). I don't like this waiting and losing 5% of my weight.....but I guess they want to see if you can follow their instructions and I guess it makes your liver smaller so the surgery is easier - so you have less complications. I'm all for that! Good luck. cj

I have a four year old as well - and every time I look at her I just keep thinking that maybe I shouldn't do this. I am kinda scared about dying on the table! But if I don't do something, my 'co-morbidities' are going to kill me slowly anyway. How's that for uplifting thoughts! Seriously - I need Proza****il June 12th! I go for my pre-op assessment on Monday so I'm hoping to feel more reassured then. Elizabeth

Yeah that is how I feel. There will be no calling off the surgery here. It is just now when I think about my surgery date, my heart drops a little.

I know exactly how each of you feels! I just realized after ready Charlottes' 33 day post, that there are only 31 today and gasped. That's only a month! WOW! I know I want and need this done and I'm not really afraid of dying, I know God will be with me and whatever His will is will happen. So, just kind of the realization that wow...this is REALLY going to happen! LOL I'm sure it will get even worse as I go and get closer! I am keeping each and everyone of us Juner's in my prayers, may He ease each of our hearts. Pam

I am so with you on that., my nerves are pretty much shot and think about it constantly... the other day I was talking to someone and started to cry because it just came across to me that what if that is the last time i see my daughter.. what if .. it chokes me up now to think but if i dont do something maybe I wont ever be able to say a goodbye to her... i dont know i have good days and bad days on the thought process... april

:party: Elizabeth, I had to reply just because that is something I would say. Nervous? Yes. Excited?! You bet. Far more than the nervousness. This is such a test for us! The preop testing and now waiting 15 days for the surgery. Mine is on the 5th of June. I just want that day to be here already. All the best to you! :party: Carol

I have my preop testing today.. nervous! ebeth
