It's almost time...

I'm starting to freak out a little bit, I think. I've been in and out of this weird funk for the last month to month and a half and as my date gets closer (Nov 30th) I am actually starting to get a little scared. How do other folks deal with the anxiety???

My date is the 29th. I am so excited and not the least bit nervous. I am so READY!!!!!

The anxiety SUCKS!!!! I was doing fine until after my pre-op appt which was one week before my surgery. Then it was like oh crap this is for real!!!!!! I just keep reminding myself about the end goals. Why did I persue this option to begin with? When I was in the preop area the morning of surgery I actually did some meditation. Nothing deep but some deep breathing and positive thoughts can go a long way!! Good luck to you. I think the anxiety over the whole thing was worse than the actual procedure. I am one week out and off the pain meds and feeling pretty good. Dealing with head hunger is no fun right now, but that is another story saved for another day!!!! May the keep you close by!!!! Janet

I feel like an poor person waiting on the lottery numbers My date is also the 30th at 1:30.

I know just how you feel. My surgery date is Nov 29. I am nervous and excited all in big ball in my stomach. I had my last preop item done last Tuesday. Since then, its been a roller coaster. If it weren't for this webiste and all my friends here in Tulsa, I would be floundering. To keep from going insane, I am staying as busy as possible and workign on my pre-op diet. Good luck and see you on the other side. Lisa
