I'm back home
Well I had my surgery done Thursday 10/6 at 7:30 am. I'm doing well. A little pain but it isn't that bad. I got to come home Saturday morning. The doctor says I can try pureed foods on Tuesday and go to the doctor later this week to get the staples out. I'm just glad to be home!
Little advice for those of you with a date coming up soon. Make sure you go into with a positive attitude. If there are people trying to "talk" you out of it avoid them until its all done. Thats what I did and it seemed to help a great deal. I just had to be in a positive place. I'm smart enough to have done research, gone through all the medical test needed and talked to many other people who had it done. I knew I wasn't rushing into anything and this is what God meant for me to do. I was just honest with this person and told them I loved them but I didn't need any negative thoughts so we weren't going to talk about it until after I had it done. Just my opinion but your attititude makes a HUGE difference in how it all goes!
Prayers to you all!!

Thanks for your post Karen. I do infact have a surgery date this week and have noticed that all the negativity can make you second guess yourself. I've been thinking about it non-stop and it doesn't help that everyone knows someone who has died or had serious complications from this surgery. I'm going to keep a positive mind and full steam ahead.
Glad your doing well congrats!

My surgery is the day after tomorrow and I have had people try and talk me out of it too. I know they are scared for me and I have been second guessing myself as well. It is a huge step but if you decide to go for it you have to go with your whole heart. It doesn't mean I'm not scared I am. How do you change that?
Glad to hear that you are home and doing well!! Hi Karen! Congratulations on being home and doing so well! Thanks for the post - that is really helpful advice - I don't have anyone who is being negative - but I am second guessing myself - however, I do quickly banish those thoughts - I know this is an answer to prayers and that God has brought me this far! I pray you will have a speedy recovery and much success! Blessings, Monica
Hi all!
I can't say that I wasn't scared and didn't have second thoughts but once I was on my way to the hospital I prayed that God lead me where I need to be. It seemed as after that I was calm and didn't look back. I know there are complications and risks and your family has the right to be worried about you but they also should respect your need for a positive attitude. A strong support system is essential. Much luck and prayers to you all!
