nerves are getting bad!!!

Pre-Op is on Tueday 12/7, then one week later is the BIG day.

You have made your decision, ,now you must trust in your surgeon and God to look after you. I know how you are feeling because I am having my surgery Dec. 6th. We will both be ok. I feel it. What a gift to give ourselves. Good Luck and My best wishes, Pat T

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

I am not a religious person, but I do have faith. Just pray. That is all you can do. Do things to occupy your mind and time. My surgery is on 12/17 and I'm not going to lie, I am scared. But I put it in God's hands. He alone knows the path I'm supposed to be on. Have confidence in the surgeon and your friends and family around you. Everything will be fine. Take care sweetheart and Happy Holidays!!

Mine is the 29th. I'm really scared. It's not so much about the possibility of complications during surgery as it is about not being able to follow the rules afterwards, and having it all be for nothing. Also, I'm really feeling the stigma of being so fat I have to have surgery for it - I don't know what I'll say at work or family gatherings to explain why I'm eating two tablespoons of food, instead of my usual food orgy.

I can relate my pre op is Wed and surgery on the 14th time seems so slow but I still have quite a bit I want to get done before my big day keeps us posted good luck :dance"

I know EXACTLY what you are feeling. My surgery is on Monday and although mentally I am prepared and accepting my body is another story. I have been queasy and had the runs (I know too much info ) ALL WEEK LONG !! But like the other posters, we have to have faith in God. I am content with my decision and continue to pray I will be blessed the whole way thru. We'll make it through it!!!

Good luck I will be praying for you. I am in S.C. I have mine on the 6th tomorrow morning. I was nervious but now I am more determined than ever and just impatiant and moody. Everyones been getting colds and I have been praying it will miss me. I have waited too long for this date for anything to go wrong. I look at this as the first day of my new life. My new years resultion. I have always had goals of loosing by the end of each year for the past 10 years and now I know it will happen. It will happen for all of us. We can stay in touch if you like and recover by email if you like. Again U are not alone. Take care, Kellie

I'm getting over a cold and I'm hoping when I go to my Pre-op on the 7th that I get the go-ahead for the 14th. I actually had a cold the last week in Oct and it never got better it actullay got worst so I went to my PCP on 11/22 and I found out I had bronchitis. I was put on a 5 day antibiotic (Ketek) and I feel much better. Good luck and we will be praying for each other.
