October 20th here, and scared

Hey all the 20th is coming up soon and I am getting really nervous, I have days where I feel great and then days when all I do is worry....and I cant sleep. I worry not so much about the surgery itself but the afterwards.  The malnutrion, deficincies, hypoglycemia etc. and to top that off I have a previous history of bloot clots.  soooo. hmmm what to do what to do lol

I'm right there with you, my surgery is 10/15, I'm very nervous, have to take Ambien to sleep, I worry about waking up and them saying they had to do something else because of something they found in there...hang in there...

Right there with you my surgery is on the 20th also. 10 days and it seem to be coming very quickly.

Ben there, done that, You will be allright. I like to have went crazy, the week before the sugery. I had mine on 9-26-08. I will be 2 weeks out on Friday, It hase't been that bad, I have lost between 15 & 20 lbs I dont weight but once a week. The week before sugery one day it would be ok the  next day I would think ,do I want ot do this. I new I did but. after sugery, you will look back and think why was I so nervous. let me know how you are doing,

My surgery is on the 20th also.  I am very ready to start a new life.  As far as the blood clots go, my doctor is sending me home on lovenox.  You might ask your doctor about it.  Best of luck to you!

Hello fellow October '08' surgery buddies!
I also have the 20th as my surgery date. I send my thought sand prayers to all of you. Just think, it won't be long that we are back here telling the stories of how successful (positive thinking) our surgeries went and our journey (may be long, but hanging in there) to a healthier life. I feel all the emotions I have read here and then some. The thing that keeps me going, is that I know if I do not do this, my quailty of life will not improve, and at this point, that is not an option!

Best of luck to all of you!
