JULY 11TH SURGERY AND VERY NERVOUS

Hello all this is my first post so far. My surgery is scheduled for July 11th. I was suppose to have surgery in March and 12 hours before surgery my GP postponed it because something came back in my labs. Everything now is clear and ready to go. Last time I was not nervous last time....but I am now. I am a single mother of one and I need this surgery to be around for my daughter. I want nothing more than to have it. But I am just and emotional wreck. Is this normal? Can anyone give me some much needed support and prayers please. Thanks much.

I'll be thinking of you! My surgery is the day before yours, on Monday. I have a little boy who turned one in April, so I know just what you mean about needing surgery so we can get healthy and be here for our children. Think of how great it will be once we have lost weight and have energy to do all kinds of fun things with our kids that we were unable to do before.

You are going to do great! I have 2 little girls that I need to live for too. Of course it's normal to be nervous. But once you open your eyes after surgery, you'll make a sigh of relief. Best wishes! Nicole

Hi Buffy My surgery is the same day as yours. And I am also a bit of an emotional mess ~grins~ I'm not particularly conscious of being nervous about the surgery, but I'm EASILY brought to tears, very poor frustration tolerance, irritable, all of that lovely stuff. It is normal, I know, but it still ain't much fun. We will soon be LOSERS!!! Jezia

I too am a very anxious july 11th baby ! Here's to a safe and speedly recoverly See you on the losing side. Marleen

Thank you everyone that typed back with kind words and thoughts. It is so nice to have a support system out there. I have many friends but not that have had this surgery. GOD bless all of you!!!!! Looking forward to a thin me!

Join the club....My surgery is July 13th. I wasn't that nervous until everyone started asking me if I was nervous. I am mostly excited but I am getting anxious about not doing the right thing when I come home. I understand you being nervous and that is normal. You will be giving your daughter an enormous gift. Everything will be just fine. After a month, we can start giving advice to other people...hopefully :=p I will be praying for both of us. Sincerely, Annette

Hi Buffy, I'm getting close to date also, and I know how you feel. I am praying for you and will continue to do so until you are recovering. Put yourself in God's hands and trust Him, He will see you through. Jaime
