Surgery dat June 2......now I am getting nervous

I was fine with everything until now..............now that is set I am getting nervous. Not about the new lifestyle or the challenge of it.  But it is the actually surgery.  I watched a live procedure on orlive.com but that didn't help.  The last surgery I had, I had a very difficult time waking up, maybe that is the problem.  But finally a surgery date!

I am scheduled for surgery on June 14th, your not alone.  I've been researching on all the vitamins and protein drinks, also knowing I can't drink or eat at parties/bom fires all summer. I go many times and don't, but the knowing that I can't. I am starting to freak out but dont know why! I think I'm freaking because I'm just flat out scared, I have people pumping stuff in my head trying to talk me out of it.  I having it done no matter what.

To get ready for the actual surgery, I'm digging out my old "guided imagery" CD (which I highly recommend): http://www.healthjourneys.com/product_detail.aspx?id=29.

I can understand that you are nervous for that reason. I had a tough time with my hall bladder surgery. I just received my surgery date today, its 6/11/10. I am sooo excited! Just think, its going to be a brand new begining!

just got my surgery date today also .it is june 1  and im nervous but it still seems like it is a long way away  lol

Its so boring waiting for my date to come!!!

I'm in the boat as well! June 7th! I had a panic attack last night! But, my family is very supportive and they remind me that to do nothing is certain death! I'm still afraid b/c the only surgery that I have ever had was a c-section! I'm just ready to be a year post-op!

Okay when you say "a year post-op"  that gets me even more nervous!!!  My weight has caused me pain (in joints and such), medical and psy issues, so I know I need to have the surgery.  I have a foot surgery tomorrow that wil take four months to recover so my jorney actually starts tomorrow and I still don't think that I am ready.  But ready or not it is going to happen!!!!
