Not as excited as I thought I'd be.

I'm a Nov. 6th surgery date for a RNY, but I believe my date will be changed. In the last two weeks I had a bladder infection (after antibiodics) I came down with a serious kidney infection and was in bed for 4 days. Between these two infections or the same infection my husband had a heart attach scare and was in the hospital for two days. One of my daughters is covered in hives and the other has allergies which are making her asthma terrible.(Today my first day out of bed I just feel very blah.) Tomorrow is my preop appointment and I feel pretty sure I'm going to be moved back for a surgery date. I know the Lord never gives us more than we can handle, and I feel very calm. I just wish I felt like most of the posts, pretty optomistic. Anyone have any conflicting or blah emotions at this late date? I met my preop weight goal and being sick has helped me lose 5 more yeah!! I got to move the big slider on my scale today... hit 250. Shouldn't I be dancing on the ceiling? SallyP

Wow Sally, with all that you have going on I'm not sure I'd be calm at all. I'd probably be close to a breakdown!! ;o) I think that what you're feeling is totally normal given the cir****tances. I'll add you and your family to my prayer list. Keep your head up. I'm also not as excited as I thought I would be. I am excited but I'm also scared and anxious. My surgery date is Nov. 1st. Please add me to your friends list and let me know how things turn out. Kim

Sally: My feelings fluctuation moment by moment. I'm excited and scared and anxious all while feeling like this whole thing isn't real and I'm about to wake up anytime. I guess right now I'm focused mostly on getting through this liquid diet and getting my house cleaned and errands done ...so haven't had much time to focus on the surgery. I'm sorry you and the family has been so sick. I hope everything is back to good health very soon. If you feel like you could use an extra week or two to prepare for surgery and get your good health back, be sure to talk to your surgeon's office about it. You don't want to put yourself at any added risk of complication because your immune system is a little under the weather. You want to be in tip top shape for surgery. {hugs} Pam
