Surgery Thursday August 18 and scared!

Hi all! My surgery date is the 18th and I am excited, but very nervous! I feel very emotional. Anyone else feel this way, I would love to hear from others! Amanda K

Hi Amanda! Mineis the 16th, which is Tuesday. I am nervous as well and very excited. I just have to put the faith into God and my surgeon that everything will be fine. I am pretty healthy as it is (too healthy if ya ask me) so I am hoping as far as complications I won't have any. Just think how we will feel afterwards! Keep in touch...see you on the losing side right along with me. -Courtney

a friend of mine had her surgery on Aug 3rd. She has been at church the past to sundays, count that up, 4 days after surgery she was at church, doing great. She told me she told herself every day before surgery that, she would have a successful surgery and a speedy uncomplicated recovery. She prayed it every day, and obviously HE heard her and honored her positive thoughts. Mine is in 8 days, I will be praying for you all.

Hi my surgery is also the 18th...went today to get the things i needed to pack my bag...its finally sinking in its only 4 days way. I have just been keeping myself busy trying not to think about it too much.. took my kids to canada yesterday for a family day..we had a great time...go tommmorrow for my pre op testing..have to be there at 8 in the morning..ugh..and I live 2 hours away..lol..

My surgery is Aug. 17. I feel the same the way you feel. But have you start packing your things, yet.

Hi- My date is Wed. 8/17, and I am very excited!!! For some odd reason I do not feel nervous, just excited. I'm sure that can change in a heartbeat, but I'll take it for now. Let's keep in touch and compare notes, Lynne

I have my surgery this Thursday, too! I can't believe that after all this time, it is finally time for ME...I am really excited and I can feel myself getting emotional, but I know that God is with me and my surgeon. I have to pack my bag...then just "chill out" and wait...easier said than done, but it will be Friday before we know it and we will be on the other side of surgery! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I have not packed my bag yet, I always pack too much, I am always scared I will forget something! What kind of pre-op diets are you guys on? I have done low carbs and exersicing 30 min for a couple of weeks now, I cheated this weekend, I figured it was my last time to eat! I start liquids only tomorrow! ugggg! I had lost 11 pounds last week at my pre-op appt. Amanda K

Amanda, I'm having surgery the same day. I'm scared too. I'm trying not to think of it too much (NOT) and keep busy. Take care and think happy thoughts, Karen

don't feel bad amanda! mine is the 25th and today is the first day i started feeling really emotional. i'm excited too, but also very nervous! from what i've read, it's totally normal to have these feelings. by the way, what is everyone packing in their bags????
