who is nervous?

Just wondering if anyone was nervous about their upcoming surgery. I am excited, but at the same time, I can't help but wonder what the pain will be like. I've never been under anesthesia before, so, I'm a little worried about that. I worry about missing food, and I worry about things going wrong. I know that we're supposed to be positive here, but it's getting close, and my mind is wandering. Was wondering if anyone else felt this way.

Hi I am August 2 and I am calming down now. I am just ready to get it over with and become a loser. I am doing the liquid diet pre op so I am getting use to sip sip sip!!! I am practicing

I was so nervous the night before and the morning of...before that I was a little nervous...but mostly excited,

I am right there with you Corinne. Mine is Aug. 15. I just found out last thursday that I was approved, and it actually took till yesterday (saturday) to sink in that I was having the surgery. Now today I'm really really anxious! I almost don't know what to do with myself today! Guess the next couple of weeks will drag by... but maybe taking it one day at a time will help!!! Good luck, Shawna

I've had my surgery date since May, but just got my insurance approval this past Thursday. I am real excited, I got through a lot of the nervousness waiting on the insurance to approve me. I'm sure closer to my big day I'll be a bit more nervous, but for now I'm ready to get this over with and get on with my life! I think I'm more nervous about doing the right things after surgery - eating right, getting in enough protein, taking my vitamins on time, etc.

Corinne, First, you have such a pretty face! Second, I am SO ready for this surgery! I have gone through many emotions, I can't even describe them. The one emotion or feeling that won't leave, however, is that of rest. I have so much going on right now, I am looking foward to spending a week tucked away safely in the hospital! It's too bad that I told everyone where I'll be. I shouldn't have done that! My husband's schedule at work changed for only one week (this week). Believe it or not, this totally disrupts the household. I have my own small business and the products I ordered a month ago still have not arrived. My house is only clean to hubby's satisfaction so you can imagine how crazy I feel. I can't do it myself because of my back & knees. The man can load a dishwasher but he can't wipe down the counters???!!! My brother arrives on Wednesday to "help" my husband while I'm gone. Lord, give me strength! I'll come home and find permanent butt grooves in my sofa from the two of them playing video games! My 4 yr old has endless energy that I cannot contain. He is jumping off the walls. My two oldest kids-ages 15 &16 call me EVERY day saying they want to come home (they went to live with their dad last year because I was such a horrible person. You know, curfews, no phones or TV's in the bedroom, limited computer time, showers, deoderant, no girls in their room with the door shut, etc). Now, all of a sudden, I'm the perfect mother! It cost a small fortune to get them to their dad. Now they want me to spend more money to bring them back? NO WAY. They made their decision. Now they have to stick with it. This Mummy isn't going to bail them out of every situation that doesn't suit them. ....taking deep, relaxing breaths....In....Out....In....Out... Thanks for letting me vent. I'm sorry this was so long! Becca

Who is Nervous ? I think that would be me. And still so much to do in the next couple of weeks I"m nervous, excited and everything else. Cant wait for aug 10th

Oh wow! The million dollar question! My answer is: Me! I'm nervous. I haven't ever been under anesthesia either, so I feel like this all belongs in another world! Makes me feel better to know that I am not the only one a little afraid! Good luck to all of you on your upcoming surgeries!

I'm getting a little nervous but I'm also anxious. I just want it to be over so I could start losing weight. I've waited so long for this surgery and I can't believe it's 15 days away But I'm looking forward to being a big loser and shopping in normal size stores. A couple of things I'm looking forward to is wearing are knee high boots in the winter, anklets, bracelets and panties from Victoria Secrets. Sylvia

WOW! Two weeks from today I will just be going into the operating room right about now! I am SO excited to start my new life but I am also scared.... scared that I won't be able to do it! What if I miss food too much? What if there are complications? there are just too many what if's to list! Regardless, I am excited about my surgery on August 8.... It will be awesome to be on the losing side... but there is still some anxiety! Maybe I will just take a bath to relax! Good Luck to Everyone! Bridget
