9/15 date - Happy & Anxious!

After almost a year of going through the hoops for surgery (insurance exclusion!) I am now going self-pay and am at times anxious about all the what ifs. I have a 12 yr old and a 15 month old (Both girls) and I desperately want to do this for THEM as much as for ME! I want to be around to see their babies crawl up in my lap and call me "Gran". Every night when I put my little one to sleep I now think what if I'm not here to do this for her this time next month? HOW DO YOU GET PAST THE JITTERS??????? They're driving me crazy! That said - I'm so excited! Besides the anxiety of what if and the possibility of costly complications, I can almost taste (no pun what being on the other side will be like. I've lost before and am so EXCITED to feel myself wasting away again LOL I love this website and am so thankful that God has given so many people SUCCESS STORIES! That's it - why focus on the 2% negative when there's 98% POSITIVE results out there??? PLEASE PRAY FOR ME !!! I want to see Jesus but not yet!

As many of us are having surgery that day we can all be happy for each other ,Keep in touch and let us know how you are. Doris, 9-15-04 also

Hi, Karen! Thanks for your words of encouragement! My husband got wind of a few 'bad' results about this surgery and started drilling me tonight about them. Like someone else's problems mean they're going to be mine, too - that it? Sheesshhh... Does going self-pay make you nervous?

After vewing all these posts -- Sept 15 is going to be an awesome day. I can tell you for sure - Good things happen on 9/15. I'll dedicate my birthday this year to all AMOS members having surgery.

Hey Angels!! I'm having my surgery on Sept. 15th '04 also. I'm so excited and so ready to start a new life.
