Yesterday i went for my pre-ops and hopefully all was well. I guess if they found anything they will call me this week since my suregery is next monday. Oh my gosh that seems so very close now. After weeks and months of thinking it would never get here now the days are flashing by. Hang on people we are heading for a new life . I am so worried i think about afterwards and maybe being the one person that it doesnt work on , which in my head i know is wrong but you know how those old tapes run in your mind. re runs from all the past failures . I am trying to learn to re program my mind and get rid of all the old negative things we tell ourselves , That is the devil talking and i know it. God wants us to have life and have it more abundantly so he wouldnt be the one that has put those bad thoughts in our heads. I am learning and know it will be a long process. but hope to wind up with a new and improved me one day soon. Jan

You sound just like me, when they give me mediicine I felt like I was being overdosed and then I would go to sleeep then I would vomit or dry heave. Mine happens with every surgery. They try to give me different types of anti nauseau and I still vomit then they give me another....until I say STOP! Then I go without pain meds and without the nauseau meds and let the anesthesia from the surgery wear off. The pain isn't even that bad, it is the dang vomiting and dry heaves that drive me nuts. I tell my doctors about what happens and they tell me I am drug sensitive. Hmmmm well I had my surgery on the first and guess what- I vomited blood and dry heaved for 1 and 1/2 days with them trying 3 different anti nauseau drugs. For pain I am not sure what they had me on, maybe morphine- they said I can press the button each 15 minutes. I pressed it once and dry heaved so no more for me. I took awhile for them to stop giving me anything and finally the secons day I started to feel a bit better and it had been 2 hours since I heaved and the nurse walked in with anti nauseau shot-hehehe I yellled at her and told her to leave. She left and left the shot sit there. I am not a mean person but when heaving all the time I wanted to die and if they kept giving me junk it would keep up. No more heaving for me. I cam home and have Loritab liquid and I take 2 teaspoons of that when needed and that doesn't seem to make me nausious so I usually take it before bed. email me at [email protected] if you want to chat.

Hi Jen, My surgery is a week from tomorrow also. I've had surgery before, so that part really doesn't bother me. It's the big change. :-o Life is never going to be the same part that is giving me the willies. :-)
