I'm getting a little nervous. Can you add me in your prayers?

Hi everyone. I'm scheduled for a lot of surgery next Thursday, Dec. 9th. Most of it good, but I know I'm going to be really sore for a while. My hair is probably going to fall out again too. I guess anesthesia does it to you too.

Next Thursday I'm going to have my (large) incisional hernia repaired. It looks like an alien is going to pop out of my stomach, really! It's large and noticeable even with clothes on. I'll be glad to get it taken care of once and for all. I'm also having a tummy tuck, a lower body lift and a breast augmentation. My boobs have gone by the wayside. I have no breast mass left at all. The plastic surgeon said I couldn't just get a breast lift, I had to have implants. I never thought I'd ever have implants. I'm really a "natural" girl at heart, but I figure I'm single (divorced 5 years now) and I still have another good 20 years ahead of me. I'd also like my clothes to fit well after going through all this gastric bypass business. I'm scared, but very hopeful about everything. I recently returned to the Catholic church too, so if you could keep me in your prayers or mention me at least once to the big Guy, I'd appreciate. Thanks ahead of time. ; )

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I must really be nervous, I wrote down the wrong surgery date. It is going to be on December 9th! Not today. duh, double duh. It's OK for you to keep praying though. I think my biggest worry is I have pets, a dog, a cat and 2 parrots. One of the parrots is an African Grey and they make a big mess with their dander. I'm hoping that I heal up OK at home and don't get any infections. I'm going to be cleaning like a mad women this weekend and vacuuming out the air ducts.

I healed up OK after my open gastric bypass though, it's just that I'm going to be sliced and diced up a lot more after this next surgery.
