Hi Christine, my surgery date is July 3rd right behind you. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery...Dorothy/Upstate NY

Me too!! Mine is scheduled in St Louis July 7th!! Good luck to you & me.

I'm having surgery on 7/15 and everything hit me today....actually tonight. I feel like I'm going to have an anxiety attack. It's 1:45am and I've got these butterflies in my stomach, I can't stop thinking about this.....but I'm not really scared.....just ready to throw up.......I'm dying for a cigarette.....and i quit on New Year's Eve just for this surgery. I'm also dying to eat something but I'm doing Atkins........**** **** ****!!!!!!! I need to expel this energy......maybe I'll go for a walk around the block.....yeah, right.......in my pajamas walking the neighborhood at 2am...........I can see it now, the neighbors will think I'm a complete lunatic!

I'm also having the surgery on the 15th. I'll be at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, MA. I have anticipated this surgery for almost a year now. I am very well prepared as far as having everything ready when I get home and having things ready to go to the hospital. However, for some reason.........it's 1:38am and I'm very, very nervous....unable to sleep tonight & usually that's not a problem. I'm getting very nervous. These next few weeks are going to fly by. I almost want to throw up right now..........what is up with me....

Debbie, My Surgery is scheduled for July 2, 2003 @ Baptist Medical Center. My surgeon is Dr. Gibbs...My thoughts and prayers are with you in the battle of this disease...In His Hands We Are...
