Pre-Op nerves officially taking up residence...

Hi everyone, I just got back from my pre-op testing. How did all of yours go? I had a consultation with my surgeon and surgery advisor (3 hours) and then the actual hospital testing..ekg, xrays, blood work, etc (2 hours). Anyone else in the scared mode..I know that the WLS is the right decision for me..I have had a great attitude up until now...just coming home from the tests..butterflies have taken up residence in my stomach. Agggh..I feel like such a baby about it. I can't talk to my family about though..they are scared enough about the surgery as it is..anyway..just had to vent for a moment..hope some of ya'll can relate.. -Traci

Boy can I relate. My surgery is Tuesday August 2nd. I just got back from vacation so that took my mind off of it for a week, but now I'm home and nerves are working overtime. I have had a lot of surgery and the waiting is the hardest part for me. WHEN is your surgery date? I do wish you a easy surgery and recovery. I will be praying for you. May God guide your surgeon through as well as mine and may we meet on the losing side. God Bless. Pat

Hi Patricia, My prayers are with you as well. I appreciate you listening to my venting,lol. Good luck and keep us updated on your recovery. Take care, Traci

I am nervous right along with ya I have had all my pre-op testing done and pre-op physical is complete and tommorrow I go for my pre-op meeting with all the people I met with for the consultation they said it will take 3-5 hrs then I will have my surgery on august 2nd Cindy

Thanks Cindy I will be watching your progress as well

My surgery is August 10....and even though I know it is the right decision... I am scared to death. My pre-op tests are next Thursday....I think it will really hit then. I hope they medicate me the minute I get to the hospital on surgery day...ha ha. I am such a baby.....but glad I am not alone.....best of luck to all of us!! Melannie
