I'm new here

I will have surgery on the 18th around 8 am. I am very nervous and worried about pain. My surgery will be open. I don't know how long I will be in the hospital.

Speedy recovery from your surgery. I think we all are nervous of the unknown. But I am sure it will be ok. ..Maria

Best wishes on your upcoming surgery. I can understand about being nervous about the pain but its really not too bad. If you read my profile I gave a pretty good description of my hospital stay. There will be some pain, mine was open too, but each day it gets amazingly less. Patty

Thank you. Patty your profile gave me the info I needed to know. I feel better after looking at it.

Heather, It's all normal.. all of us who took the jump before you have felt the same way. If you read my profile you'll see I went through the same fears. You'll be in my prayers. Good luck on your journey. I look forward to welcoming you to the losing side. Angelina 08/06/04 open
