Nervous but Optimistic

My surgery is scheduled for October 26th. I've been keeping myself busy but the 26th is coming quickly. I am excited but have feeling that every meal is the last. It's hard to imagine the change that I will experience in my life. Prayers and well wishes are greatlly appreciated. Thanks, Vicki H.

Dear Vicki H I wish you the best. Everything will be just fine. Just do what the doctors says and you'll be just fine. Take care, Glen

It is very normal to feel nervous. Just try to relax and know you have made a decision that will make you healthier and more active in your own life. 12 days ago I had the surgery and I have felt better than before the surgery ever since. I was one of the lucky ones with virtually no pain. Just set your mind before you go in and know you are headed for a wonderful journey. Good luck and remember we are all rooting for you. My prayers and good thoughts will be for you on the 26th. Carol

I was scared to death the night before the surgery. I made phone calls to people and saught out people that I care about and knew they cared about me. And prayed. Then put it all in the surgons hands with his staff. Everything went well! Good Luck and God be with you, Also, Eat some of your best liked food, while you can, It will be awhile before you can have them again, my regret! Jeff Moore

Hi Vicki, Try not to think of every meal as your last, because it really isn't! You just will be eating controlled portions and feeling a whole LOT better! Iam praying for all of the Oct surgeries! Trust the Lord, He will be with you through it all! Blessings~ Robin R

Vicki, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I also go in on the 26th and I'm sure we will both do just fine. All my best to you. Stella
