calling all 8/22/05 surgery daters!!!!

Hey everyone, just wanted to see how you are emotionally, and If you are ready, I am praying for you all, I have to be at LP Hospitol at 5:30am surgery is at 7:30. I finish all my shopping today, sf pops and jello, and broths, got it all at sams. I am praying for you all too, and please keep intouch and email anytime.

My surgery was scheduled for the 22, but at my preop today the dr had to reschedule to the 29. ( I was ready, now I have one more week to obsess!) You will be in my prayers. Rene'

Mine is on the same day and at the same time.... Good luck to you. Kajean

Hi! Mine is Monday at 7:40 a.m. I have been fine. Today I am a mess. I am tired of the liquid diet. I want food - something - just a tiny bit! I am tired, crabby, feel weak. My blood sugar is 314 because they told me to stop the insulin & meds this week when not eating. Now I have to start them again. My emotions are rare. One minute I am excited and looking forward to Monday and a new life. The next I am worrying about saying good-bye to my children and husband in case some quirky thing goes wrong. I feel blue, tired, worn out. I need a hug! My husband is being a doll - supportive, loving, patient (not one of his better virtues!). He is reassuring (he had the surgery 15 mos ago w/ no problems whatsoever). Maybe I am just tired. Maybe it is hormones. Maybe I am mentally ill. This is my first ever surgery since I had tonsils out when I was 6. Maybe I am just normal.................Maybe tomorrow will be better!

Laura, I pray you and all the rest of us have an uneventful day Monday. It appears all of you have your time to report on Monday already; I will find out between 2 and 7 pm today what time I'm to report. I've got similar emotions as you but I'm mostly excited. Looking forward to moving forward. Peggy

youll be ok. i got banded on 8/17. just some dull pain at site . medicine helps a lot. just relax when you wait for surgery. i think that was my nervous time. just waiting for the room to be available. but my doctor cracked a joke and i was ok after that. good luck and God bless

can you say rollercoaster.... monday at 6 is my surgery, my emotions are all over the place, but I will be fine and everyone else will be just fine also... God is watching over us... BIG HUGS to you laura and everyone else who needs one...will see all on the losing side, Betty

Good luck everyone. I will be joining you on Monday! We'll be losers together! Mikey

My daughter Krystal W. will also be joining you all on Monday, Aug 22...Her surgery is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. at Norton Suburban Hospital in Louisville Ky with Dr Mark Shina Best of luck to everyone Shellie H.

Hey, Shelli - My husband & I re from Louisville! Westport and Waggener grads. My #3 brother was born at Norton's. I was married at Beargrass Christian on Shelbyville Rd. in 1989. Best of luck to Krystal with her surgery. Tell her she is in our thoughts and prayers - as are all of the August surgery group. Nice to hear someone from home. We miss Louisville - we may move closer sometime in the next year or so.
