TOMORROW-OMG-I am so scared

Wow, it's tomorrow. My surgery is tomorrow, less than 24 hours away. I am really nervous. I am happy too, but right now I fell really scared. Not that I would back out or anything, is this normal??? Does anyone else feel this way??????? Thanks Gail

Gail, I think this is normal. I am scheduled on the 8th, just 2 days behind you. I am nervous, but not scared, because it has been such a long haul to get here. I think I am more nervous about how I am going to work a full day on clear liquids tomorrow! And the "prep" I have to do on Wednesday -yuck. Good luck to you.......... See you on the losing side. Denise

thanks and good luck on your upcoming surgery. God bless Gail

I have mine tomorrow morning as well and I am scared too. I keep thinking I am going to back out. I am just trying to keep it together and get some last minute things around the house done to keep my mind off of it...besides can't have anything to eat today so that stinks too. I am sure afterwards, we will wonder why we were ever so scared and nervous. Good luck!!

We are just afew hours away Hang in there and God bless. I will be back to update as soon as I can. Btty Boop60

Look forward to hearing from all of you soon. God Luck Btty! Gail

Gail, Hang in there sister!!! I am scared nervous and all that. I do know that I havn't had solid food all week and boy I wouldn't back out now that was way to much to go thru for nothing I tell you what. I lost 15lbs this week and that tells me something.....I don't want it back Everything you are feeling is normal. Just plan on what you want to pack in your bag and take along some things that make you feel good. fav lotion?? fav pair of jammie pants?? Find a new book to read in between laps around the nurses station... I guess in other words plan for after the surgery I even went out and got a new pillow to take with me... I would have been embrassed to take an old one I tell ya!! anyway it is silk and pretty so i can hang onto it while i cough and cough up that anasthesa (sp) You hang in there girl and I will see you on the loosing side Debbie

Thanks, Tomorrow is our big day, Man I need a pillow too! I bought a nice bathrobe and night gown at the avenue Yesterday (40% off) Gail

Hi Gail and others, I am so excited for you. I will be praying for you and your surgeon (and staff) today and tonight. I think the way you are feeling is expected. I get butterflies when I think about the 19th (my surgery date).....but my focus is on the after life (the "loosing" side of life), so many things I want to do and have been unable to for my whole life (or at least the last 10 years). Ride all the rides at a theme park with my boys, riding bikes (without the back tire going flat), being able to buckle up "comfortably", walking into a regular store and finding something that fits, maybe even running, jumping or speed walking (I would love to be one of those ladies I have laughed at for so long, speed walking shaking their butts moving their arms........THAT WILL BE US!!!!!). You go girl!!!!! Stay focused, be positive and let the surgeon and hospital do the rest. You will be OK. Post when you get home and let us know how you are doing. Melissa W.

thanks melissa
