Just try to relax. I know, easier said then done! The surgery is so much safer then it was even just a few years ago! Everything will be fine, just think of how much better you'll be feeling in just a few weeks. By the holidays you will be seeing the weight just melting away!! Jacquie

Diana, I gave myself 2 days last week to freak out. It started Thursday I just started crying thinking about leaving my 2 yr old for a few days for the hospital stay... Then I thought WHAT IF I don't COME HOME. My friends on the Cali board helped me through it with kind words and encouragment.After Friday afternoon I was back to thinking positive. I go in for surgery this thursday 11-4 at noon. I am feeling calm now! Allow yourself to cry and then get on with it.....THINK POSITIVE!! Best Wishes!! Summer

I am feeling you on this point. My surgery is 14 days away and up until now, I was feeling really fine. Just keep thinking of the postive outcome and be blessed. Many Blessings, Thomasine-VA

Diana, you can bet I will definitely be praying for you! I share the same concerns and fears as you do..but on the other hand, I am continually reminding myself that I CANNOT DO THAT...not an maintain any sort of pece of mind, anyway. My surgery is on the 16th of this month, and as it approaches, I get more and more nervous, and it seems that several times a day, I just have to stop, pray, and meditate in order to calm down. Please know that you are going to be in my prayers as well as many others' here. I think it is absolutely amazing the "bonding effect" these boards have for people that are otherwise complete strangers. God bless you, and be with you! Pat

you are going to do great!!! The Lord is with you, and will watch and protect you through your new journey!!! GOOD LUCK!

Yeas of course we are all thinking of you! I know you will do great.
