surgery tomorrow

My surgery is tomorrow and I am really nervous. I have never had any kind of surgery before so this is all new to me. I just wi**** was over it's the anticipation that is killing me.

Good luck! My surgery is the day after tomorrow - Wednesday. I'm less excited & less nervous than I was a week ago - a little more calm about it overall. But I'll probably get more nervous again the night before and morning of! I have had surgery before. It wasn't as major of a surgery as this, but I really had no problems after that surgery, not even any pain (of course I was on Percocet....but it did the trick). Here's to hoping that our surgeries go great and that we have little pain and quick recoveries!

My WLS was my first surgery ever as well. Congrats on your surgery. That's cool that it is before the holiday**** and you'll be going through the holidays this year on the LOSING side!! It's a WONDERFUL place!! Wishing you all the best!!

Dear Jenille, My surgery is tomorrow also. I am finally done with picking up all the things tht will be needed once I return home. I just sat down and thought to myself, well this is it. No more to do but breathe and read or write. I had to remember to drink my liquids today, knowing that nothing will go in my mouth tomorrow... I have had 21 surgeries, so I cannot relate to you, but I can tell you, I was a surgical nurse and you will be fine. It is the waiting and the anticipation, losing the control, but everyone(the nurses) are used to that. You will be on the other side as I will and we shall be fine. Just know you are not alone in this. I may have lots of experience, but I have not had this surgery before, and for me it is hard to stop my life for two days and let people take over. Once it happens it is fine, but I have a busy life and I am obessive about having everything right before I go in. My business is daily and by internet, so it will have to wait. I shall look for you when we return so know you are not alone. Blessings to you on your journey and we shall compare notes in a few days, Debra

Don't worry about anything. I had surgery just two weeks ago. (performed by Dr. Kam) Staff at Barix is Great. They will take good care of you.
