The big day is July 28th!!!!!
hi julie...i cried like a baby and was ready to cancell right there at the table...it wasn' t that bad...the thing to remember when u get up thr first time...try to stay up as much as u can...get that anastesia out of your body and use your inhaler they give you....everyday gets better,please trust me.....i had mine last week and i am up and about my house...if you every need anything please call on me.shirley
Hi Julie, I know that scared feeling all too well. I had my WLS on the 9th and it was not nearly as bad as I had thought it was going to be. I want you to know also what you are feling is NORMAL. Let me repeat that. What you are feelling is NORMAL. You have made the hardest already. That is the decision making that you have to do to agree to having this surgery. I will pray for you as I know that prayer does change things. Your WLS friend...Brenda from Apopka, FL
Hi Julie, Yes it will be worth it in the end. That is what I keep telling myself. I am scheduled for the 28th also (RNY-open). So I know what you are feeling. Just remember this is the hardest part once we have the surgery we are on our way!!!! I want to be called a "loser" I can just smile and know how much better I am going to feel. Scared yes I am, I go from happy to think what the heck am I doing but all in all I am very happy with the decision I made.
Prayers and hugs from Iowa, DebbyB
Hi, Julie
I just found out about this board. I am having surgery on the 28th also. I live in Minnesota. My surgeon is Dr. Baker. I have not had time to be scared yet. I have been really trying to keep very busy. I know things will work out for us. You don't work this hard for something and then have it not work! I will be thinking of you. Good Luck!!
