Surgery Monday 9/27, Scared Now!

Tonya, What you are feeling is totally normal. I went through the very same thing before my surgery 3 days ago, meaning I was a blubbering fool in surgery pre-op! After surgery went great (I don't remember much of recovery) and once I got to my room I got up and went to the bathroom! My best advice is to BELIEVE it is going to be fine (try not to think anything less) and set a small goal for post-op, i.e, to walk the evening of surgery...something! Know that all of us hear at OH are sending you lots of strength and good thoughts. See you on the losing side soon! DJ

I just wanted to tell you and all the other scared pre-ops that I said a prayer for all of you that all goes well, and I hope that you have peace in your decision, as restful a recovery as possible, and a kick butt weight loss afterward! The emotions are all a part of this, and from what I've read, they're going to come and go for a long time in the process of dealing with all this. But time and time again, you hear almost all of the post-ops say they would do it again in a heartbeat! Good luck and blessings to you all... ~Sue
