Tuesday is the big day!

I can not believe it, I am totally freaking out. Having the silliest thoughts that I am going to "screw this up" ie.. not be able to do just liquids and no "real" food or catch a cold and have the surgery canceled. I have a very overactive "****ty commitee"LOL. I'm trying to keep busy and not think about things but every so often, it just hits me and I just go down the tubes. I am really scared. I know it is b/c it is new to me and that this is normal but damn it does not make me feel 1 ounce better , in the moment that is. :>) However I must say that I feel much comfort is reading everyone's experiences, it puts my ming at ease. Well thanks for allowing me to dump all this and reallly thanks for taking the time to post when you do. It really does have an impact. Please keep me in your prayers for a smooth uneventful surgery on Tuesday, thanks again. oodles of gratitude.,

Hi, Kim: I'm scheduled for Tuesday too. It's been a wild ride for over a week now. I'm much more calm today than I have been, but emotionally, it has been hard. Mine is scheduled for 8:00 a.m. and I have to leave the house at 5:30, so there will be little time to think about it on Tuesday. Good luck to you! Sandy

Hi Sandy, Thanks for the reply. So we are surgery sisters huh? I am sooo envious that yours is at 8am. They scheduled me for 2pm! I think they should only do them first thing in the morning. Don't they know how anxious we are to be banded LOL. I hope you have a very speedy, uneventful surgery and recovery. From what I have read, we should be feeling pretty okay in a few days. Isn't that crazy. Please keep in touch, it would be really cool to be able to compare notes so to speak. "Try" to get some rest tonight and by this time tommorow you will be long out of surgery. Talk soon. Kim

Hi Kim and Sandy, October 23rd is my rebirthday too! Like you both I am so excited. I don't feel nervous but I have noticed I am more emotional about every thing. Good look to you both. I will see you on the Loser's Bench. Wanda

Hi Kim all I can say is what is working for me I keep posting my feelings and talking it seems to ease but what really is working is that I 'm starting to look at how healthy I wil be after and remember if you need to it's ok to take deep breaths and please pray all the way threw and GOD has it anyway. I've back out on having this surgery twice and this is the third time and this is my turn I will not allow the negative thoughts stop me and remember that's all they are thoughts I pray that you can start to see the positive Blessings that GOD has in store for you Praying for you. Peace and Blessings The Angels are with you alway's. And here are some of mine I'll share with you.
