Long awaited Surgery

I have waited a long time for this.. My girl friend Val went through the process already. Val has been such a confort to me and a great help, I am truly blessed by her. My surgery is on July 8th and I would be a liar if I told you I was not scared. I have to be ready to go that extra mile. My birthday is on july 9th, what a great present than a new take on life. I am trying to get myself mentally ready for the change of a life time. I think the hardest for me is eating processed food.Grrrrr I had to buy these lean frozen meals to eat the next two weeks to perpare correctly for the surgery. Small price to pay to have a new life. I hope that I can meet people to help me understand my surgery more and to be able to support each other. Good luck to everyone who is having surgery in the month of July. Donna

I am thrilled for you. I am having mine done on the 1st. I can hardly pull myself away from the computer, I just want to message everyone and hear about all. I have had to do 5 days of clear liquids and then I can add strained creamed soups and sugar free pudding! I have had surgery before, so am not scared of the surgery. I'm nervous but not scared. I have been looking for a support group here as my friends that have had the surgery say that this really helps. All my thoughts and prayers go with you on the 8th!!!! Dee
