Surgery Date 8/17/04

Hi, I have my RNY surgery on 8/17. At times I question if what I am doing is the right thing. In my heart I know this is what I need to do to live a long health life. Did or does anyone experience this? Is this normal emotions? Thanks Vicki

Hi Vicki! We are the same date! I will definitely be thinking of you! As far as if this is the right thing, I don't have a doubt it is the right thing, does that make me any less nervous...nope!! But, we will survive! I have ups and downs about how I will do eating, will I be ok by myself, what will it be like afterwords, and so on and so on. Depends what day you ask me! However, I am excited and can't wait to get to the other side!! Tab

Tab, Congratulations on your date! Thank you so much for your support. I seem to be getting less nervous the more I talk to folks that have had the surgery. You will be in my prayers for a safe and speedy recover. Vicki

Congratulations and welcome! I think you are being perfectly normal. Even though we want this surgery more than anything at times it still makes us a little nervous. I am trying to think positive and have gotten some great support from this message board. Everyone here is very supportive. Here's hoping the time will fly by and everything will work out perfectly!

Joan, Thank you for your words of encouragement. I know I am doing the right thing but do seem to be a little scared at the outcome. I know once it is over with I will look back and say I was silly for being so nervous. Vicki

Congrats!!! Jacque

Hello Vicki, Welcome and congrats on your date. What you are feeling I think is normal.....I am going through the same emotions as well. Take care. Shay

Hi Vick: Congrats on your August surgery date. I am sure we all question if we are doing the right thing. Every so often little thoughts pop in my head but in my heart I know it's the right thing. Good Luck Patty
