Jitters

Hi All, My surgery date of July 6th is just a short two weeks away. I am really looking forward to having the surgery and getting home to start my new way of life. On the down side, I would be lying if I said I didn't have concerns. Thanks for all your support.-joyce

Congrats Joyce, you have the same date as me. Yea I got jitters too, especially the closer it gets. Hang in there, we will both be skinny before you know it. Sue 273/260/?/150 T-15 days & counting

Mine is July 6th too! I'm right there with you Joyce. It seems some times I can't think of anything else. (I'm at work right now) I have little concerns that pop up now and then but my research and this board have given me the answers already. I think it's fear of the unknown. I have never had major surgery before and (other than everyone's stories) have no idea what it will be like. I can imagine, but sometimes that's worse. I also realized the other day that I don't have a computer at home and will not be able to come here after my surgery unless I go across the street to the library (which I'm sure I will). Tina

Joyce, It is normal to have the jitters. This is a big step in your (our) lives, but we all are here for you.Luci

Congratulations Joyce! My date is July 6th too. I am very excited and a little nervous but everyone says it's normal. We'll have to share notes! Best of luck. Brenda

Thank you all so much for your replies. My 3 year old grandson was at my house the other day and wanted me to play out in the yard with him. I did the best that I could do and then I sat down at the picnic table and was watching him smile, laugh and enjoy life. I thought "This is what's it's all about!" I want to enjoy life again and be here for my husband, children and grandchildren. I want a quality of life. I feel more comfortable about having this surgery now more than ever. I think we all will continue to be a little concerned but I can now say for sure it's the right thing for me to do.-joyce
