Anyone a "wee" bit nervous????

I have had such a mixed bag of emotions the last month about this. I think that's normal. Right now I have been really confused about which surgery I will be having. The Dr made a suggestion of having a gastric sleeve, I still need to talk to him about that. I understand its done prior to the rny for higher risk patients. I know that my being 45 is a bit of a concern for him and the fact that I carry my excess weight mostly in the stomach area. It has just been a strange last few weeks. It really is flying by so fast I can't believe it. My surgery is Aug. 9th, 26 more days. Best wishes Patty

I am nervous too!! My surgery is 8/4 and I am feeling anxious and restless and whole lot of other emotions. I can't decide if I want my Mom with me or not and it's driving me crazy!!!

Lisa... I feel exactly as you do, (did you read my post??) I can't pull it together here I've never had surgery, so this may be adding to the anxiety. I have however delivered 5 babies naturally..any comparison??? Well, I'm sure we will do fine..my date is Aug 2, and I just wi**** were tomorrow, so I could be done with this constant worry. I can't even sleep at night. I will definately be asking for some "happy juice" when I arrive at the hospital Take care.. Donna

Donna, Welcome to the Aug. 2 club! (See my earlier post to Nikki.) We are all feeling the same way but it's natural....and speaking of natural, FIVE kids!...anyone who has had that experience is a lot stronger than she (you) may think and I am sure you will do fine!

im really starting to get nervous myself, i just found out my date the other day and its so soon, aug 2, and i think it makes me so much more scared just bc im only 17. nikki

Hi Nikki, It's normal to be nervous. I am too. But I am much older than you -- 46. So just hang in there, think good thoughts, try to pass the time in fun ways...By the way, my date is August 2nd also. I was the same as you when I heard it..."so soon?????" Of course that was really funny since I had been in the clearance stages for a year now, and prior to actually getting a date I was whining "when, when, when???"

Yes, I feel the same way. My surgery date is 8/3 and I have been trying not to think about it much and just go through the motions of pre-op testing. When they called this morning with a date, I had to pause and then say yes. I agree its a natural response but I must say it did propmt me to join this site and create a profile to get in touch with others that have the gidders for moral support.

Hey Lisa, Yes, I am very emotional during these last few weeks......moods been up and down, snappy, on the edge and can't SLEEP.....I hear this is normal. so I am just going to ride it out.....AND I CAN'T SMOKE NO MORE!!!! Shay
